We recently went on a trail biking tour with Bryan and it was fantastic! He was super well-prepared with all the right gear, snacks, and water. He explained how to operate the bikes very thoroughly and made sure we felt comfortable the entire time, even the beginners. Bryan took us to the most beautiful valley and made sure we stopped at all of the most scenic spots. He was easy-going and knew a ton about the surrounding nature and wildlife, sharing cool facts and stories along the way. He even repaired a tire on the road with ease! If you are looking for a great trail biking adventure, I highly recommend Bryan.

Read the description carefully for this tour. It requires strong physical fitness and a familiarity with mountain biking in cold weather (we went in mid September). You will be biking up and down very rocky and wet terrain. I would not recommend this tour past August. We went mid September and it was very wet and cold (even with layers and rain gear). Even with cold weather gloves on my hands and wool socks on my feet, my fingers went numb from the cold and i could not feel my toes and fingers and could not work the bike gears or break. After about half way in, my husband and I had to turn back. Also, this late in the year, the trails are over grown with alder brush which made it hard to navigate.
On the upside, the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. You will absolutely see some beautiful terrain and wildlife. Just be prepared for a true mountain trail bike experience.

Hi Kelly,
Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Chugach Mountain Bike Tour. It's great to hear that the guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and that you had the opportunity to experience beautiful terrain and wildlife.
Your advice about the physical demands and the suitability of the tour for different times of the year is valuable for future travelers. It's essential for individuals considering this tour to be aware of the challenging terrain, especially in colder and wetter conditions.
Your review will undoubtedly help others make informed decisions when choosing this adventure. I hope you had a wonderful time in Alaska.
Safe travels,
Frankie

Carl was a wonderful guide, bikes and other equipment was top notch. Learned a great deal about the park, trail was hilly, rocky, and windy. This made for a very exciting ride. Great job of managing stops/rest points to take in the beautiful scenery and to catch our breath. Our family loved this excursion!
