| Which park is right for me? |
 |
Taste of the wilderness: For a feel of authentic Alaskan wilderness, head to Eagle River. You’ll need to carve out some time-3 hours or so—since it’s a 40 – minute drive each way. There you’ll find a dramatic mountain valley with sky-piercing granite cliffs, a swift glacial river, and waterfalls further up the valley. |
|
City views: If you don’t have a lot of time but want a steep mountain trail with great city views, hike Flattop Mountain at Glen Alps-Alaska’s most-climbed mountain. It’s a 20-minute drive to the trailhead, and a heart-pumping 45-60 minutes to the top. |
|
In-town woods: To immerse yourself in the woods in town, head to Kincaid. It’s only 15 minutes away, and you’ll find more than 80 miles of trails through the trees, some overlooking the Inlet. A quick warning: Many of the trails are hilly. |
|
Leisurely stroll: If you want a leisurely stroll with sweeping vistas across the Inlet (and you don’t mind crowds), check out the Coastal Trail. It’s 12 miles from downtown to Kincaid Park along mostly flat terrain. Don't corner moose into fences or houses. |
|
Quick peace: If you have only a short time and you’re somewhere near the Chester Creek Trail, take a walk onto it. The trail follows a winding creek through tall trees-perfect for finding solitude even if you have only a half-hour. |
| If you're really into hiking, invest in the excellent book, 55 Ways to the Wilderness in Southcentral Alaska. It remains the classic after more than 20 years in print. |

"Don't miss a cruise into
Prince William Sound. People are out there with their mouths
open. They've never seen anything like it-I don't care where
they've gone." |
