Bicycle Day Tours
Set right in Anchorage, this ski mountain transforms into a summertime wonderland for bikers and hikers. Take a bicycle up the lift to the scenic peak and experience one of the many single-track trails as you descend across varied terrain at the base of the Chugach Mountains or ride the lift up and walk down. It’s the northernmost bike park in North America and a LOAM pass destination.
Hop on a full-suspension mountain bike and pedal your way around the gorgeous Eklutna Lake with experienced tour company Lifetime Adventures. Rent a bike and set off your own, or take the guided bike tour and gain insights along the way! Combination tours that include kayaking or hiking are also available.
Love biking? Love art? Then this ebike excursion around Anchorage from Freewheel Tours is perfect for you. The 3‑hour, 18-mile trip runs in the morning and afternoon and takes an intimate group (there’s a 4‑person maximum) past gorgeous murals, to appreciate the art and learn the backstory of each. It’s culture, history, and recreation wrapped up in one tour — and anyone ages 15 and up who can ride a bike is welcome.
Anchorage may be Alaska’s big city, but this bicycle tour operator offers quick proof that the city has a lot of wilderness. Choose your ride based on half-day or full-day options, as well as difficulty. You’ll go from downtown to Mother Nature — with mountains, coastal views, and the occasional moose sighting — in no time at all. Better yet, the tours often include beer tastings or lunch.
Rent a mountain bike (and all the body armor you need) for a thrilling, two-wheel ride down Mt. Alyeska. Lessons and tours of the route are offered. Or, go for a hike on one of the many area trails, either with a guide or on your own. You can even strap on some crampons and go trekking on a glacier.
