We took an afternoon hike in October, and on the hike back, the sunlight played across the autumn landscape in fascinating ways, leaving us in golden rays and deep shadows. #arcticvalley #autumnhike #hiking #hike #october2025
I regularly hike in Arctic Valley because it is close, gorgeous, and has clear lines of sight for wildlife. Here are some more fun photos. #hike #hiking #arcticvalley #alaska #outside #enjoyinglife

The layers of clouds were particularly gorgeous. There were some clouds above us, but we also had fascinating layers below us. Somehow, we were sandwiched in the sky with our feet on the ground. #arcticvalley #hiking #onahike #gettingoutthere #anchorage #beautifulday
One of my dearest friends and I took the chairlift up Arctic Valley this summer for a little autumnal hiking. Photos from the lift ride up. #chairlift #scenicchairlift #hiking #autumn #fallcolors #alaska #arcticvalley #anchorage #hoofingaround
Sometimes, I talk about "searching for sunshine." The weather can vary greatly just based on your location relative to the mountains. The low-vis photo was taken first. And mere minutes later, after some elevation gain...WOW. #bluesky #sunshine #arcticvalley #anchorage #alaska #adventure
An early September hike in Artic Valley on the Muktuk Marston trail. #arcticvalley #hiking #autumn #fireweed #alaska #anchorage
It's hard to capture the depth of the views in mountainous states like Alaska. But highlighting the foreground, helps emphasize the scale, to my eyes. More from Arctic Valley near Anchorage, Alaska. #wildflowers #vista #alaska #arcticvalley #hiker #hiking
Arctic valley. The start of the Gordon Lyon trail. Enjoying a lovely summer day in Alaska. #hiking #alaska #arcticvalley #workingout #peaks
Alaska in Spring. More from the Muktuk Marston trail. #hiking #alaska #arcticvalley #hittingthetrail
This is the Muktuk Marston trail in Arctic Valley. It's not a flat trail, but it is a gentle one. It's a newer trail, and my thanks to those who built it. #arcticvalley #hiking #dustytrail #seeingalaska #alaska.
A few weeks ago, I hiked the Muktuk Marston trail from Arctic Valley to Hunter Pass. It's a gorgeous trail in spring, and I love the unobstructed views throughout the entire hike. In one photo, you can glimpse downtown Anchorage in the distance. #hiking #arcticvalley #alaska #hike
Dreaming about hiking. Anchorage had one of the driest winters on record, so we might be hiking sooner than usual. #summerhiking #arcticvalley #hiking #alaska #cantwaitforsummer #optoutside
The world feels chaotic, so here are hiking photos from last summer. I hiked up to the top of a ski lift that gets used as a cabin in the summer. The cabin is featured below, and it is luxurious with electric and an incinolet (f-ing LOVE those). #alaska #arcticvalley #chair2 #cabintrip #summer2024
