Explore beyond Anchorage with a knowledgeable local guiding the way. Drive just 30 minutes to reach the Flattop Scenic Overlook in Glen Alps, where you'll find yourself 2,000 feet above Anchorage and the Cook Inlet, offering breathtaking views. After getting fitted for a bike and helmet, embark on an adventure into the mountains. The trail is a wide double track of dirt and gravel, making this a non-technical mountain bike ride, great for anyone who enjoys adventure and knows how to ride a bike. As you venture into the wilderness, learn about the natural and human history of the Chugach Mountains. Look for wildlife such as moose, bears, ptarmigan, and Dall sheep inhabiting the valley floor and mountain slopes. Leave the city behind as you steadily bike up and out of the valley floor, enjoying the panoramic views along the way. Enjoy the fast and fun ride back to the starting point after taking a break to soak in the sounds of marmots, songbirds, and the babbling creek.

Q&A

Q: What’s the age limit for the Anchorage Scenic Mountain Bike Tour?

A: The tour is generally suitable for ages 12 and up, but younger riders may join if they're accompanied by an adult. It's a non-technical ride, so as long as they can handle a bike, they should be good to go. Just check with the guide ahead of time for any specific concerns!

Q: Is it easy to reschedule if the weather's bad?

A: Yes, Alaska Trail Guides are pretty flexible with rescheduling due to weather. If it's too rainy or windy, just give them a call, and they’ll help you find a new date. It's always better to ride when the weather's nice!

Q: What should I wear for the bike tour?

A: Definitely wear layered clothing! The weather can change quickly in Anchorage, so start with a moisture-wicking base layer and add a light jacket. Also, don’t forget comfortable biking shoes or sneakers, and maybe bring a hat for the sun!

Just booked the Anchorage Scenic Mountain Bike Tour—any tips?

I’m super excited! I booked the Scenic Mountain Bike Tour for my girlfriend’s birthday next month. I heard the views from Flattop are insane, and I can’t wait to see the wildlife! We’re both pretty fit but haven’t done much mountain biking. Any tips for first-timers? Does anyone have a fave spot on the trail?

Had an amazing time on the Anchorage bike tour!

I just finished the Anchorage Scenic Mountain Bike Tour and wow, it was incredible! The guide was super knowledgeable, and we saw a moose just off the trail. The downhill ride back was a blast! If you’re thinking about this as a gift, totally go for it. Perfect for both adventure seekers and casual bikers!
