What To Expect
Flattop Mountain Trail
The flora and fauna of the Glen Alps tell us a story of an ecosystem living in harmony just outside of Anchorage. Moose and bear birth their young in spring and mate during the fall months. They travel through the mountains and valley in search of their favorite browse, providing ample opportunity for wildlife viewing and photography.

Reviews
Our only disappointment or surprise had to do with how the tour was advertised to us online. It was represented as a nature walk but it was more of a mild hike. Mind you, we are capable of a mild hike but based on the fact that we thought we were taking a nature walk we were not dressed appropriately for a mild hike. In fact had I known ahead of time what this excursion entailed, at this point in time I would not have booked it based on my husband‘s current health history. So I think it is important for people to know that this is more than a nature walk and involves walking on uneven and even slippery terrain at times and one must definitely dress appropriately for walking in the bush.
