So nice!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/22/07
It was beautiful even on a cloudy day! The trails are easily manageable, even for someone with no hiking experience (me!). It gets a little rougher the higher you go, but it's easy as long as you have on some good shoes with lots of traction. Oh and it helps if you have amazing thigh strength. I can't wait to do it again on a clearer day!
The hike starts at the Glen Alps trailhead, which has a very easy loop trail with a great lookout and view of the Anchorage area. If all you want is a gorgeous view of the area, that's the way to go. Very easy, short and flat.

The Best hike place in Anchorage

It is a good place to snow board and the trails are good in the summer time. It shows the great part of Alaska and if you never been to Anchorage you should go there. There is whild life and stuff
Great panonoramic view of Anchorage. Spotted Moose down the valley. Even if you are not a hiker, an excellent place to visit if you have an extra hour or two to spare while in Anchorage. Only a 15 minute drive from Anchorage airport.

Worth risking your life for

This was not an easy hike. Sure, for most of the hike it was a stairmaster user's dream, but the last part was hard, scary, and possibly life threatening. Was it worth it? Absolutely. The view from the hike and then the top was breathtaking. I felt like I was on top of the world. I did hope that a helicopter would come and take me down, but it ...
