    Hiking

    Near Point is a humble bump on the mountain skyline overlooking Anchorage — and a pretty popular hiking destination, thanks to its nearness to town and (relatively) easy access.

    Pay attention to the trail fork on the way up: If you go the wrong way you'll find yourself slogging through an enormous mud patch that swallows all boardwalks and other attempts to contain it — and maybe your hiking shoes, too.
