Far North Bicentennial Park- Hillside

Running > Trail Running > Alaska Directions: The FNBP is a very large area situated on the Eastern edge of Anchorage in the foothills of the Chugach Range. There are no less than 17 official trailheads and many smaller, local ones. Some of the main access points are as follows;

From the Seward Highway (AK1) head east on Tudor rd aprox 2.5 miles to a right turn onto Campbell Airstrip rd. At about 1 mile is a parking lot and trailhead for the Campbell Tract, at 2 miles there is a parking lot on each side of the road, these are the North & South Bivouac trailheads.



Again from the Seward Highway heading east on Abbott rd 3.8 miles from the Seward Highway is a parking lot for the actual Hillside Park Trails, The South Gasline Tr (multi-use corridor) and the rest of the FNBP. From this point Abbott rd heads uphill and turns into Hillside dr, turn left on Upper Omalley then left on Prospect dr, follow this road for 1.5 miles to the Prospect Heights parking and trailheads. This trailhead is actually located in the Chugach State Park and is access for trails there, however following the Gasline trail West (downhill) for a few hundred yards will bring you to the eastern boundary of the FNBP.



Trail Description: Great trail running spot.
