Besh Lighted Loop Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

By winter, this is a one-way, ski-only trail. But by summer, it's open to multi-use and two-way travel. The terrain is non-technical, with fairly wide tread and a few fun, good-sized downhills.

Tip by

5.06 km

This multi-use trail is mostly hard-packed dirt. It's totally non-technical, though, excepting some persistent muddy spots, so as long as you don't have skinny road tires it's pretty easily bikeable. Please keep an eye out for wildlife like bears and moose, as encounters are always possible around here — and watch for oncoming bike traffic and slower walkers, as this is a little narrower than many other multi-use trails in town.

Gasline Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This trail isn't paved, but it is wide and straight and easy to ride, as long as you don't have skinny racing tires on your bike. Use caution in regard to wildlife, especially as you approach the creek, because bear sightings are very common here when fish are running.

Because of how common bear encounters can be near the creek, officials close the Rover's Run Trail (which intersects near the east end of this trail) to traffic during the summer. Please respect that closure — it is for your safety.

Chugach Foothills Connector Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Chugach Foothills Trail is really just a connector, meant to improve trail access from East Anchorage. But it's really quite lovely in its own right. Its mix of hard-packed gravel, dirt and the occasional bit of pavement makes for good running, and the wide trail is good for those who might feel nervous about running on narrower, more brushy trails. With that said, watch out for fast-moving bikers who are out to enjoy the trail too, and can really get moving fast along its relatively straight length.
