One of the OG single track trails in Anchorage. Rolling single track through a Far North Bicentennial. Usually the first trail to get packed in for fat biking. Fun in the summer and winter. Fun both directions. New boardwalks added in 2025, whole route was also brushed, grade reversals added, some roots removed, some side hits added. Add the new Campbell Airstrip Connector trail and you have a fun alternative to Rovers Run.
