    Hiking

    The Glen Alps Trailhead is the starting place for a number of great hikes near Anchorage, including Flattop, Hidden Lake, Little O'Malley Peak, Powerline Pass, and Middle Fork Loop. There's also a very short overlook trail, just north of the parking lot, that gives you great views out over Anchorage with relatively little effort.

    Parking costs $5, and there is a machine near the upper parking lot that accepts credit cards.
