Alaska is blessed with some of the most beautiful places in the United States, but often these wonderful places are inaccessible. As the state's population grows, and more and more tourists visit Alaska, the state finds itself challenged to increase access.

Alaska Trails wants to make the wonders of Alaska accessible for all kinds of people, for all kinds of uses, without compromising its beauty, natural history, cultural integrity or landownership interests. Our supporters and partners represent a cross-section of trail user groups, businesses, individuals, community organizations, and government agencies.
