We saw a moose!
Jul 2021
My husband and I visited Alaska for our honeymoon and loved it. When we went on the bike tour it was raining and still so fun; I'd say the rain added an extra element of excitement. It was definitely a workout, but worth the views!

Our guides were super knowledgeable, and were able to answer most of our many questions regarding Alaskan outdoors. They picked us up downtown and were able to drop back off where they picked us up.

All in all, we biked 8-9 miles into the park, were able to experience the outdoors quite a bit, and we saw a moose! 10/10 would recommend.

I would also recommend wearing pants/leggings and a jacket if you are sensitive to poison oak/ivy. Alaska has their own variety (cow parsnip - reactive when exposed to sunlight) that lined the trails we biked on.

Great trail, amazing views, fresh blueberries and MOOSE!
Sep 2021
The views in Chugach State Park were amazing, but I enjoyed the deep reds and bright yellows of the changing tundra plants just as much. We biked to an alpine lake with crystal clear water. Our guide, Caitlin, knew where to look for blueberries and we stopped to pick and eat blueberries along the way and again at the lake. Caitlin also had an eye to see wildlife that I would have missed. On the way down she spied a bull and cow moose grazing together in the valley below us. If we go back to Anchorage I would like to do this ride again.

Great Experience
Jun 2020
Had a great experience on the Chugach tour with Elly. She was a fantastic guide, would recommend to anyone visiting the area for the first time like myself. Fat tire bikes are a ton of fun, more stable than normal mtn biking, and will still get your heart rate going. Views incredible and even got to see some moose! Coordinating the trip was very easy. Nothing but good things to say.

Great excursion
Jul 2021
Loved doing this. The weather wasn't great, it was quite foggy, so we couldnt see the scenery. But that was okay. We had a blast biking on the rocky roads with our fat tires. The company was great - good guide, offered all the equipment needed, even rain gear. The only negative was that we ended early.. It was supposed to go until 12:30pm, but we ended before noon.

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're thrilled you had a blast riding on the fat bikes - they really are a lot of fun! Maggie is a wonderful guide, and the rain gear is perfect for those wet days. With transportation included, we're usually done biking around noon (2 hours of biking), and then it takes about 30 minutes to load the bikes and transport the group back to downtown Anchorage. If you choose to meet us at the trailhead, your tour technically ends early because you don't need to be transported to/from the trailhead. Have a great time in Alaska! Cheers, Frankie

So cool! We visited in August 2020 and this was our first activity since arriving in Anchorage. Elly was knowledgeable and made it super fun. We may or may not have gotten stuck on some rocks but it was the hardest laugh I’ve had in awhile! We also got to see 2 moose and a coyote so we definitely felt like we had the full experience of wildlife and mountains!

Great Fat Tire Bike Experience!
Jun 2020
Challenging but rewarding, this bike ride takes you through some beautiful trails in Chugach State Park. Our guide was very knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating during the tougher parts of the trail. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a brief tour of the park!

Fun and Exhilarating
Jul 2022
This was our inaugural fat bike ride. We had a fun exhilarating beautiful ride in the Chugach mountains. There was cloud cover early and it cleared up for the ride back. We were surrounded by beautiful views. Carl provided excellent guidance and short stories about the plants, wildlife and riding. He takes great pics too. We highly recommend this trip, guide and area. Enjoy !!

Great Way to Start Alaska
This was the first activity we did after arriving in Alaska. Even though it was cold and drizzling and we are not expert mountain bikers, it was awesome. Our guide Maggie was the best. She was patient and had fun facts about living in Alaska . We had so much fun!

Picture Perfect Day
Jul 2022
Much Mahalo to our outstanding guide Elly from Alaska Trail Guides. 🤗🤗🤗

I shared this awesome adventure with Rick and Sarah from Wisconsin; both were seasoned bikers. Unfortunately, I haven’t been on a serious bike ride for 25+ years; not to mention mountain biking!!! 😬🙄😲

Elly was very patient and understanding of my skill level and made it an adventure to remember. 🤙👍👏

My only question was the tour description from Viator:

Overview: Embark on a 12-mile bike ride through Chugach State Park during this half-day small-group tour from Anchorage. Take in the beautiful views of the Alaskan scenery and keep an eye out for native wildlife such as moose, bald eagles, and bears. Learn about the natural history of the Chugach Mountains from your guide and enjoy a delicious picnic lunch before descending the mountain to end your tour. Take a half-day bike tour from Anchorage to the Chugach Mountains Bike 12 miles through Chugach State Park and discover its history Keep an eye out for native wildlife such as moose, bald eagles, and bears Enjoy a personalized experience during this small-group excursion

Was it due to time constraints or my skill level holding the group back that we didn’t enjoy a delicious picnic lunch? Ha Ha

Otherwise; everything described on the tour was spot on.
