Nature
Flattop Mountain, a 3,510-foot peak in Chugach State Park just east of Anchorage, is Alaska’s most climbed mountain because of its easy access from the city. Named for its broad, table-like upper profile, it is commonly reached from the Glen Alps trailhead by a 1.5-mile route that rises to a plateau below the summit, with a harder spur continuing to the top. The mountain is heavily used for hiking, climbing, berry picking, paragliding, and backcountry skiing. It is especially valued for sweeping views over Anchorage and, on very clear days, as far as Denali, Mount Foraker, and Mount Spurr.
