About this tour
Trade city streets for the quiet, snow-covered trails of Anchorage’s Glen Alps on a challenging snowshoeing adventure in Chugach State Park. With an experienced guide leading the way, explore alpine terrain and reach areas that are difficult to access on foot in winter.
Over five hours, travel through steep, rolling landscapes and take in sweeping views of the Anchorage Bowl, Cook Inlet, and a glacial valley. Along the route, naturalist guides share insights about Alaska’s alpine spruce forests, while wildlife sightings may include moose, hares, lynx, and birds. Snowshoes are provided, and a granola bar, apple, and cheese stick help keep you fueled. Day packs, trekking poles, and snow gaiters are available upon request.
This demanding outing suits travelers with good fitness and some hiking experience. Meet in front of the Egan Center or arrange your own ride to the trailhead in advance. Bring suitable winter clothing and footwear, then discover a wilder side of Anchorage on this guided snowshoeing adventure.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 6 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Anchorage
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.4. Top 44% in Anchorage means it ranks in the top 44% of tours in Anchorage by this score.
