We hiked a few different trails in the Chugach Forest. Each was pretty with different views and terrain. There's a hike/walk for everybody in the Forest. Beautiful views no matter where you hike. Saw a couple of moose and other wild life.

As with most places in Alaska, this was a spectacular place to visit with endless breathtaking mountains, streams and forests. Always hard to take a bad pic in Alaska and this place is tops on my list to revisit.

Went from Anchorage to Seward and could not drive without stopping every 5'. Scenery is stunning with forest and sea views all the way.

So many things to see, starting with the Cook Inlet. Worth exploring and take a camera. Also, wear waterproof clothing as the weather changes very quickly.

We drove the Old Seward Highway to Seward, and the Chugach is not to be missed. In early May, the snow is still on the mountains, but the roads were bare and dry. Start in the morning, and on a sunny day, you'll see light glistening on endless inlets, and the mountains transformed to cathedrals. We did not have the... More

We only drove through this beautiful National Forest but the scenery was incredible, especially after a deep snow had fallen. It's relatively easy to get to and I'd love to come back and explore this area some more. I can see why Alaskans are proud of it.

As you enter the Park driving south out of Anchorage on the Seward HWY along side the Turnagain Arm, you'll enjoy mountain views that have often been compared to Switzerland. Also you'll see Beluga whales, Sea Lions, and to the North, you may even see a mountain goat. Check the tide schedule, and you may also be able to see... More

The Chugach National Forest is a great place to visit on an afternoon. It is well maintained for our visitors. And, you get a feeling for how large our state really is.
