Chugach State Park

Leah Falls

We visited Chugach National Forest and Chugach State Park. I brought my binoculars and our SIL brought his drone. We were able to see a bald eagle pair and also one of the eagles flying back to the nest. Views of the glacier and glacier lake were fantastic. There’s so much to explore; we could not get to it all in just two outings. Highly recommend! No restrooms in the park areas, but there is a gas station between Turnagain Arm and Portage Glacier Lake.

Went wild blueberry picking here and it was terrific! Lots of blueberries 🫐 everywhere! Such a beautiful area. Easy to get to and accessable paths to different areas so you can spread out and enjoy larges spaces to pick blueberries. We came late in the season and there was still plenty to be picked.

Beautiful expansive place to hike and explore. Oh the places you could go. Glaciers, snow capped peaks, breathtaking views, unexplored territory, and so much more. This is a truly unique state park. It is so fun to get beyond where most hikers even travel and to see new things. Ever changing, and takes my breath away every time I see something new.

What a beautiful place. My family and I visited Alaska with my Dad, who has lung cancer, and this was on his bucket list.

3rd largest park in America that covers almost half a million acres Three day hiking at -25 degree. There are at least 50 trekking tails in the state park, from East to hard, from easy sightseeing trails to adventurous ones. There’s lots of wild berries when it is berry season. Carry bear spray while doing hikes in summer and fall. I had three-day hike in the state park. Day one: Spent one day snowshoeing in the park, experience of lifetime Day two: Hiking along the eagle river and in the forest, spectacular views of the frozen waterfall Day three : Hiking along the ridge line, breath taking views of the wild snow mountain range. And Saw three people parachuting. Crazily cool!! Would definitely come back to do the hikes again in the summer and fall! Love Alaska!

Amazing mountains within Chugach State Park. Hundreds of miles of beautiful trails just in close proximity to Anchorage and other small towns in Alaska. You’ll find here everything from a path for an easy Sunday afternoon stroll with kids to advanced mountaineering adventures.

Beautiful State Park. There is none better in many people's estimation. From sea level to the mountain tops, the views are spectacular. You can get lost in your thoughts here, and if you don't watch out you might actually get lost for awhile. Do not count on being able to get a cell signal if you go into this wilderness, even less so the further East you go into the Park. Weather can change suddenly, and can be deadly. Prepare well.

We decided to take the Bear Mountain Trail to the peak and then traversed across a gorgeous ridge to come down along the Eklutna Mountain Trail. What a spectacular view! At the end of the Bear Mountain Trail you are standing high above Mirror Lake. Watching the float planes take off from so high up is lots of fun. The path is easy to follow and is carpeted with wildflowers. AllTrails said we hit over 3,000 feet of elevation gain from the lot, so be prepared for some steep stretches.
