Flattop Trail is a hiking path around one of the most iconic mountains in Alaska. The trail begins in a forested area before reaching the timberline, the height at which trees stop growing. Hike the steep path for 1.7 miles (2.7 kilometers) to reach the mountain peak for views of Anchorage and the scenic natural landmarks of Chugach State Park. Make your way through Blueberry Hill to get to the foot of Flattop Mountain. At this point, the path becomes noticeably steeper, passing fields of rocks on the way to the peak. The trail has an elevation gain of 1,280 feet (390 meters). Note the painted markings near the summit that distinguish the route. Snap photos of the Alaska Range, Cook Inlet, Chugach Range and the city of Anchorage from the peak. The hike to the summit is fairly strenuous and should take about an hour. Continue along the steep incline to reach the mountain top. Take breaks along the way to catch your breath and appreciate the views of the mountainous terrain. Chat to other hikers you cross on the way to the summit and back. Spot moose and other wildlife roaming around the snowy track. Bears rarely make an appearance. In late summer and fall, pick blueberries from the thick groups of bushes. Go backcountry skiing or paragliding around the mountain, which is popular for being the most accessible to Anchorage. Bring enough water and snacks to last the afternoon. Watch your step in late September, when the terrain turns icy. Be careful of dislodged rocks during your ascent and bring warm clothes for the harsh conditions at the summit. Spend a few nights under the stars at a campsite. Camping is only permitted at least half a mile (1 kilometer) from the trailhead. Fees vary depending on the campsite and parking lot. Drive southeast from central Anchorage for 15 miles (24 kilometers) to reach the parking lot of the Glen Alps Trailhead, where the Flattop Trail commences. It is in the western end of Chugach State Park. You can also ride the Flattop Mountain Shuttle from downtown Anchorage to the trailhead between May and October. ## Plan a trip to see Flattop Mountain Trail Price found within the past 48 hours.

(1,001 reviews) We stayed at Alyeska Resort for my husband’s birthday, and overall it was an amazing experience, especially the hydrotherapy spa. If you’re considering going, do it. We booked a Signature King with a Mountain View and arrived before noon to check in. The front desk wasn’t able to check us in early and recommended we go ahead and enjoy the hydrotherapy circuit since we already had reservations for the day. The spa is open from 10 AM to 9 PM, and honestly, it’s the highlight of the resort. The hot/cold therapy experience, relaxation areas, and scenery made it feel like a true getaway. We could have stayed there all day (and almost did). When we returned to check in, we hit a small snag, the room we prepaid through Expedia (Mountain View) wasn’t showing correctly in their system. Initially, we were offered a room without the view we paid for, which was frustrating, especially since this was meant to be a celebration. After speaking with the manager, who was thoughtful, patient, and genuinely helpful, we were upgraded to a high floor with the correct room type and a beautiful mountain view. That gesture absolutely made the stay feel special, and I appreciated the empathy and willingness to resolve the issue. Food-wise, we tried a few of the restaurants onsite and everything was consistently delicious. Service around the resort, from spa staff to restaurant servers, was warm and welcoming.
