ケナイ山脈のおすすめツーリングルート

A five-start scenic ride - endless eye candy.

The heavily-wooded Kincaid Park covers 1,400 acres and boasts 20 miles of single-track bike runs. This park is a popular option for outdoor enthusiasts due to its proximity to the Cook Inlet and the incredible mountain panorama viewed from this point. Moose and black bears are frequently sighted in Kincaid Park.

This is a designated one-way trail now, with a nice jump line. Be alert to the possibility of sudden wildlife encounters, including moose and bears.

This section of the paved, multi-use Bird to Gird Trail includes Bird Point, a popular spot to watch the bore tide rolling in. However, you only get a distant view and it's hard to forecast how big the tide will or won't be.

Once upon a time, you could see Portage Glacier from this viewpoint. Now it has receded behind a corner of the mountains, so from here you can only see the lake left behind by the glacier, and every so often a few icebergs might still float by. Still, the lake itself is wildly beautiful and the small visitor center nearby is interesting to visit... if it's open.

On a clear day, you can see the glittering blue ice of several hanging glaciers from this trail (look up in the mountains, and you'll understand why they're called "hanging" glaciers). That said, there's plenty of pretty trailside scenery too, including several ponds, a gravel nature trail you'll want to dismount and walk, and even a few campgrounds.

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.

This section of paved multi-use trail runs from Dowling Road to Lake Otis Boulevard. But when taken as a whole, the Campbell Creek Trail runs northeast/southwest through almost the entirety of Anchorage.
