About Downtown Bicycle Rental: Flattop Mountain Shuttle

A scenic, safe, active and very affordable 3.5-hour outdoor afternoon excursion suited to your individual needs. We drive you 15-miles (30 minutes) from downtown Anchorage (sea level) to the Glen Alps trail head (elevation 2,200') in Chugach State Park. Van remains parked for 2.5 hours while you hike. On average, it takes one hour to hike from the parking lot to the summit. This allows most people 30 minutes to walk around the mountain's flat top and photograph the great views. Some bring lunch. It takes about 45 minutes to descend. No guide is needed on this popular, easy to follow trail. In a nutshell, this is a 30-mile low key circuit tour of Anchorage and an unguided mountain hike above it for only $22.' 'When hiking, if at any point you decide it is too strenuous or too steep, no worries, turn around wherever and whenever you want. Fast hikers have time to go to the second or third peak. Up there you'll run along a ridgeline. Unlike on the Flattop trail, up there you'll likely be alone.'No matter how fast or far you hike the great views provide a reward for every footstep. Even on cloudy or rainy days it's still a good time. You will get exercise in the mountains and see more of Anchorage and pay less than you would on a city tour.'
