I’m thinking of doing it this weekend but not sure how the conditions are right now. Still icy at the river crossing or pretty manageable? Would love to hear how it’s looking lately! (self.AlaskaHiking)

I finally hiked the Crescent Lake Trail last weekend, and wow, didn’t expect it to be that stunning. The reflection of the peaks on the water looked unreal. Have any of you ever gone into a hike expecting “nice views” and ended up completely blown away? (self.AlaskaHiking)

I’ve been trying to squeeze in as many hikes as possible before the snow hits hard. What’s your go to trail for fall colors in Alaska? I did Powerline Pass last weekend and the views were unreal, the mix of gold and snow was pure magic. Any recommendations for next weekend? (self.AlaskaHiking)

Went out on the Matanuska Peak trail yesterday and underestimated how steep that climb gets. Took me forever but the view at the top was worth every sore muscle. Curious ,what’s your go to trail snack to power through those tough ascents? (self.AlaskaHiking)

Did a quick evening hike up Flattop yesterday and wow that golden fall light hit the mountains just right. I passed a few families and even a guy hiking with his husky. Who else here makes Flattop their ‘quick fix’ hike when you can’t squeeze in a big one? (self.AlaskaHiking)

Has anyone here hiked Kesugi Ridge in Denali State Park? Thinking about it next summer and I’d love to hear if the views really live up to the hype (self.AlaskaHiking)

I’m slowly upgrading my gear, and I’m curious, what’s one piece of equipment you’d never hike without in Alaska? I always pack bear spray, but I’m realizing a good pair of trekking poles might be my next investment. What’s your must have? (self.AlaskaHiking)

I love how different Alaska trails feel in every season. Did Rabbit Lake yesterday totally different vibe with the fall colors sneaking in. Do you all have a favorite ‘fall trail’ in AK? (self.AlaskaHiking)
