Excursion Overview

Knik Valley, Alaskan off-roading playground

Explore the Knik River Valley on ATVs! Roll over silt dunes, navigate water crossings and wind through epic forest trails. Escape civilization with an authentically Alaskan adventure. This is a great way to get a taste of Alaskan off-roading.

Riding is always spectacular in this scenic valley and this amazing trail covers a wide variety of terrain. You will see Knik Glacier in the distance if the weather is clear, get right up close to Knik River at the base of Pioneer Peak, cross Jim Creek, and ride over dry riverbeds. You will make your way to Friday Creek, eventually arriving at the halfway lookout. The trail itself is well-defined yet rugged. You'll cross streams and other obstacles as our expert guides show you the way.

The Knik Valley is a hidden gem just outside of Anchorage. On this half-day experience, you will cover approximately 25 miles of rugged terrain. Whether you are a thrill seeker looking for an adventure or a family group looking for a half-day outing, Knik will deliver! The vast trail system allows for a catered experience for you and your current off-roading skill level.

Come prepared as you are strongly encouraged to dress in warm layers and clothes you do not mind getting muddy. Helmets, goggles, and gloves will be provided for those who don't wish to bring their own.
