The Mirror Lake singeltrack trails are a super worthy mountain bike ride!  With just over 5 miles of trails, the Chugach Mountain Bike Riders has an expansion plan so things should continue to improve!  

The trail map is a great resource, as is Trailforks to make sure you know where you’re at!  In my case, I rode with a local guide which made things a lot more fun! 

The trails consist of a blue loop with super fun and short purple hot laps . . . and a red/pink section that I thought were the best trails.  There are black sections interspersed throughout which are a fun way to work on skills progression or ride some more exicting terrain! 

In under 2 hours we pretty much rode all the trails, repeating a few short loops!  It’s a really nice way to mix up the Anchorage offerings, or to ride something on the way out to the Hatcher Pass or other points north! 

Mirror Lake itself is super pretty!
