Adventure Club members can attend this event as one of your free monthly adventures

When: Thursday, May 1, 2025

Time: 5:45PM-9:00PM (approximate end time)

Please arrive at the trailhead between 5:45PM and 6PM. We will begin our hike promptly at 6PM. Please note that there is no cell service in the Eklutna Lake parking area. We’ll plan to gather by the outhouses.

*This event repeats at different trailheads on the first Thursday of each month*

Where: Twin Peaks trailhead (this is an Alaska State Parks-maintained lot)

What to expect: We will hike at a leisurely pace and stick together as a group. Hikers can plan to stop for water breaks and educational opportunities throughout the adventure. This is an out-and-back trail.

🥾 Mileage: Approximately 4 miles (2 miles to the first bench, 2 miles return)

🥾 Elevation Gain: About 1,300 feet

🥾 Estimated Hiking Time: About 3 hours

The Twin Peaks trail is in Chugach State Park (Eklutna Lake area). Did you know Eklutna is the city of Anchorage’s primary source of drinking water? We will hike about 2 miles gradually uphill along a wide, well-maintained trail to a bench overlooking Eklutna Lake. Total elevation gain is about 1,300’. While here, we will take a rest to enjoy the scenery before hiking back down the mountain.
