Thinking of gifting the Chugach State Park Nature Walk!

Hey folks! I'm considering this experience for my parents who are visiting Anchorage next month. They love nature but don't hike much. It sounds like the perfect easy hike to enjoy some scenery and learn a bit too. Has anyone done this already? How was the experience? Any tips or feedback would be great!

Chugach State Park Walk - What to expect?

Just booked the Chugach Nature Walk for next week! I’m excited but a bit nervous about the wildlife. I’ve heard you can see bears and moose. What should I do if we encounter them? Any suggestions on how to stay safe but still enjoy the experience?
