Alaska Trails
Alaska Trails, a statewide non-profit dedicated to building and maintaining sustainable trails in Alaska, donated tools for the trailhead restoration. AlaskaTrails typically charges a rental fee for the tools, but provided them free of charge for this important volunteer project.
Blazing New Bike Trails at Kincaid Park
Anchorage’s Singletrack Advocates are planning to build more mountain bike trails this summer – a six mile extension of the popular trails they have already built at Kincaid Park.
This ambitious goal is the way this can-do group rolls.
Foundation Grant Funds Tool Trailer Revamp
Thanks to a generous grant, Alaska Trails will begin revamping its two tool trailers, both of which are dedicated to building and maintaining sustainable trails.
Located in Fairbanks and Anchorage, the trailers enable volunteers to safely put their energy and enthusiasm into their local trails.
Portage Pass Trailhead Restoration
Before the big rains came last week, a group of Anchorage high school students from Highland Tech ventured down to Whittier to help restore the Portage Pass Trailhead.
In just an hour and a half, 35 students, with help from 5 Forest Service employees, moved 3yds of rock and 1.5 yards of gravel to repair a 50ft stretch of trail.
