Mountain Biking in Alaska
 
Hillside Trail System in the Chugach State Park
Alaska DNR

Whether you want a nice easy ride on an old roadbed or a grueling trail up technical switchbacks leading to a spectacular view. Alaska is the place to ride! From hour-long to multiple-day rides, there is something for everyone

Remember always stay on trail, respect trail closures, and give the right of way to the horses and hikers that you may encounter. 

Grab your water bottle, throw on your helmet, and enjoy Alaska by bike.
