ケナイ半島地区のおすすめライド

Stay focus while riding on the side of the highway

If you're coming down this hill from the Kincaid chalet, it's an easy cruise as long as you don't get distracted by the pretty views and crash into a moose or a tree. But if you're going uphill, the more than half-mile of steady climbing is a real quad-burner. Wildlife sightings are very common here; please make sure to give them lots of space.

The paved trail makes a sharp bend here, offering some views toward the marshland at the bottom of the bluff. There's also a small, unpaved spur trail near here that leads to a sand beach that isn't rideable, but you can always walk your bike or lock it to a nearby bench.

If you don't mind a quick foray onto the footpath beside busy Dimond Blvd, this bridge gives a nice view of Campbell Creek below. It's also a good place to stop your hike or ride; in theory the public has access to Campbell Lake to the south, but going there often involves contact with unpleasant homeowners who dispute the public easements that allow lake access.

Although the Kincaid Chalet (sometimes called the Kincaid Outdoor Center) can be rented out for public events, it's usually open to the public as a place to warm up or dry off from your recreational efforts. With plentiful parking available, it's a great place to either start or finish a bike ride.

If you're coming down this hill from Kincaid chalet, it's an easy cruise as long as you don't get distracted by the pretty views and crash into a moose or a tree. But if you're going uphill, the more than half-mile of steady climbing is just brutal. There's no other way to put it. Making it all the way up without dismounting is either a mark of honor or a goal to aim for, depending on your biking habits. Speaking of moose, sightings are very common here. Please make sure to give them lots of space.

This hill stretches for more than a half-mile of continuous elevation gain or loss, depending on which direction you're headed. If you've started your run from the Kincaid Chalet and are heading roughly northwest, it's a nice downhill warm-up. If you're heading southeast to finish your run at the chalet this hill can feel like a personal attack, coming as it does at the very end of your run. But burning lungs and quads are good for the soul, right?

This state park features scenic trails along the bay and through the hills. It's a perfect spot to relax, enjoy a picnic, and take in the beautiful surroundings. Chugach State Park is the third-largest state park in the United States, covering an area of over 495,000 acres.
