    Tips

    March 22, 2024

    The Glen Alps Trailhead is the starting place for a number of great hikes near Anchorage, including Flattop, Hidden Lake, Little O'Malley Peak, Powerline Pass, and Middle Fork Loop. There's also a very short overlook trail, just north of the parking lot, that gives you great views out over Anchorage with relatively little effort.

    Parking costs $5, and there is a machine near the upper parking lot that accepts credit cards.

      The Glen Alps Trailhead gives access to some excellent hikes. Nearby Flattop Mountain is a very popular objective and offeres staggering views of the surrounding Alaskan landscape. Meanwhile, more ambitious hikers may set their eyes on O'Malley Peak, the highest point above Anchorage. Bear in mind that there's a small charge to park here.
