Matt Szundy, a guide for The Ascending Path, leads clients from Minnesota up the north face of Mount Alyeska in Girdwood. The company offers three-hour hikes on the mountain, which in the winter is a ski mountain.
Whether you like a gentle amble or a strenuous climb, Alaska offers world-class hiking.
Kenai Peninsula hiking (10-12-2005)
The fish are plentiful on the Kenai Peninsula, but getting out into the woods is one of the best ways to experience the beauty of this place.

The long, hard race -- Iditasport Impossible
By the end, after weeks of wallowing in deep snow and battling headwinds that blew the frozen tundra bare, only four of the 20 athletes who began the 1,000-mile Iditasport Impossible race crossed the finish line in Nome.
Something about fall makes every trail inviting. Anchorage's best trail is the one in your neighborhood.
