Rabbit Lakes Trail is an out-and-back mountain bike ride (or hike!) in Anchorage.  At just under 5 miles each way, it’s easily done in 2 hours even with a stop at the lake (mandatory if it’s nice out!).

The trail is mostly double-track, though there’s a singletrack along the rider’s right for the initial section of trail that makes it a lot more fun on the descent – while you don’t have to ride in it, it’s fun to try!  The trail climbs in earnest from the parking lot and stays in the brush for a bit – because it’s so wide, the trail doesn’t get too overgrown to ride.

Riding away from the lake . . . this section of trail is super fun especially because it’s so beautiful and open.

Rabbit Lake with the Suicides . . . doesn’t get more stunning than this!
