The Mission

Anchorage is a city of 260,283 people living within 1,961.1 square miles and surrounded by 250 miles of trails. Just over half the trails are paved (135 miles), the rest are gravel, grass, or simply dirt. Many of the trails are located in parks or in vegetated buffers next to the city's creeks. While traveling Anchorage's trails you can easily forget that you are right in the middle of civilization.



I've personally ran, hiked, biked,and skied along many miles of trails in Anchorage, but have only scratched the surface of what's available. Which is why I'm setting out to ride every trail in Anchorage. I plan to ride all 250 miles of trail and provide a description of each one. I hope that this blog serves as a place for me to assemble all of my thoughts and impressions for future reference, and as a place for others to learn more about the opportunities available in this great city.
