Fat tyre biking in Anchorage - an experience not to miss
A great experience with a knowledgable guide and quality electric bikes. Whilst I'm sure that a regular fat tyre bike would have been fine the electric bike made it so much better. The coastal path was a perfect way to see another side of Anchorage and riding through the forest and across a frozen lake was a lot of fun
Operator response
Hi,
Fat-tire bikes can be a little more challenging than a normal everyday rider, but they get you so many other cool places, especially an E-Bike. We're happy you had a great time with us. Thank you for your review!

10/10 take this tour!
We had a great time! Our guides were Ellie (hope I spelt that right) and Matt - they were both fantastic and kind. They did a lot to try and customize the trip to what we wanted to do, as in it can be harder or easier depending on your preference. The bikes worked great, the trails were great, and we even saw a Moose! Would definitely recommend doing this is you've never ridden a fit tire bike before.

First-Time Fat Biking Experience
My daughter and I signed up for the Fat Bike Tour in Anchorage and we're so glad we picked this company. As novices, we were interested in a basic introduction to the sport and Alaska Trail Guides really delivered for us. We met our guides, Elly and Frankie, in the parking lot at Bicentennial Park and spent two hours on the trails. As it turned out, this tour gave us everything we hoped for as we tested our balance on the single track, negotiated bridges and pedaled up and down some gentle hills. The bikes were in tip top shape and Elly was very knowledgeable about fat biking, the equipment and the network of trails around Anchorage. There were plenty of highlights including a moose and calf, a dog sled race, and mountain vistas. We are both hooked on fat biking and look forward to exploring more trails this winter.

Awesome Bike Ride with Elly
We would highly recommend this tour! Elly did a great job leading the pack, stopping to provide photo ops and sharing fun facts as we traveled the trails. Half of our crew live in Anchorage and were able to check out new trails and a new activity. (We may have to purchase our own fat tire bikes now. 😁) Elly is very knowledgeable of the trails and bikes so a perfect experience for a novice to an expert. We can’t recommend this tour enough!
