Alaska Hiking Guide

Hiking in the Arctic Refuge - Exploring Alaska's Wildest Wilderness. In a state nicknamed the Last Frontier, nothing represents wild Alaska better than this remote and roadless wilderness.

Denali's Trailless Wilderness - Alaskan author Bill Sherwonit explores the mountains, plant life, and wildlife of Denali's trailless wilderness.

Wilderness at the Edge of Town - Anchorage resident and author Bill Sherwonit heads for the hills of Chugach State Park, Alaska's "accessible wilderness" just forty-five minutes outside the city.

Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve - The size of six Yellowstones, this park's enormity is astounding, with peaks upon peaks, glacier after glacier.

Gates of the Arctic National Park - A maze of glaciated valleys and gaunt, rugged mountains, forest and arctic tundra vegetation and wildlife, all above the Arctic Circle.

Kickin' Back on the Kenai - Where bald eagles and adventure are common as crows.

Exploring Alaska on Foot - A rundown on natural wonders in the Last Frontier.

Glacier Bay National Park - For a true on-your-own wilderness experience.

Denali National Park - The rewards are innumerable: wildlife, adventure and, on a clear day, views of Mt. Mckinley.

Tongass National Forest - Hikes rambling all through the largest temperate rain forest in the world.

Kigluaik Mountains - A backcountry area near Nome offering lots of opportunity for hiking, skiing and wildlife viewing. Oh yeah, and dog mushing.

Iditarod National Historic Trail - System of historic trails made famous by Alaska gold prospectors and their dog teams during the late 19th and early 20th century gold rush. Mostly a winter trail but sections in the Chugach National Forest and Chugach State Park are good hiking paths.

Three Anchorage Hikes - Some of these hikes start twenty minutes from the center of town, but you'd never know it.
