Simply recently newly created routes make it possible to bike, hike, ski or run from Glen Alps to Knik Arm of Cook Inlet without crossing a single roadway.

The Anchorage Park Foundation designated a route called "Mountains to Sea Trails" with a video, signage and other info to help people browse from Glen Alps trail head in Chugach State Park to Westchester Lagoon and the Anchorage Small Boat Launch, around 24 miles.
