White Spruce Trailhead, Anchorage, Alaska
Just 5 minutes from home, near my closest trailhead into Chugach State Park. Anchorage's most popular hiking destination, Flattop Mountain, catches a few late afternoon rays on the right beyond the autumn fireweed . To the left and behind is Ptarmigan Peak. Excellent hiking, skiing, and biking on the Park's trail system give a wilderness feeling only hours from home without a long drive to get there. Just around one bend a few miles out, you can feel totally divorced from civilization. An in state joke makes fun of Anchorage as a mistaken waystop on the way to the real Alaska. But the combo of wilderness at your doorstep and city conveniences is real, with endless further wilderness in multiple directions.
