This is one of the very few bike-designated trails in Chugach State Park. It's set for beginner to intermediate riders, and one-way travel is recommended from the Glen Alps Trailhead to Prospect Heights. Keep an eye out for hikers who might wander onto the trail, and for wildlife like bears and moose, both of which are commonly sighted in this area.

When biking in Chugach State Park (and actually all of Alaska) you should always know how to handle wildlife encounters and consider carrying bear spray for extra protection.
