Public Lands and Resources
Trails are dynamic, changing things. They often look very different during a single season. Whether you are working on a trail project and looking to learn more about trail building or planning an adventure on one of Alaska's many trails, we can help you get the resources you need. It’s always best practice to check land management agency websites for current conditions before heading out on a trail. We've compiled a list of resources to help keep you well-informed and ready to tackle any project or adventure.
