Join us for a classic Anchorage hike up Flattop via the Sunnyside route! This trail offers a steady climb with amazing views of the city, Cook Inlet, and the Chugach range. The pace will be moderate with short breaks as needed.

What to bring:
• Sturdy shoes or hiking boots
• Water and a snack
• Weather-appropriate layers (it can be windy at the top!)
• Optional: trekking poles for the rocky section

Notes:
Parking is limited, so try to carpool if possible. We’ll regroup at the summit for photos and then head back down together.

Let’s get outside, enjoy the fresh winter air, and tackle one of Anchorage’s favorite peaks together!
