Review:

The close proximity to Anchorage makes this hike a popular attraction, especially with the family-friendly 3.1 mile loop route found on the Arctic Valley side.

The Arctic Valley trailhead is accessed via a military reservation and the trail is littered with lush wildflowers. In contrast, the Eagle River trailhead is a cardio workout with a relatively steep climb.

From Rendezvous Peak, stunning views of Anchorage and Eagle River Valley are seen, with the more challenging trail rewarding visitors with additional views of South Fork Valley, Sleeping Lady and the Alaska Range.
