Hey guys, just got up here to the great state of alaska. I bought a home in wasilla and have trails right across the street (where arent there trails in wasilla?) Anyways, is there anyone out there looking for a riding buddy who might be able to show someone around?

Thanks!

It's unfortunate, but I'm guessing that less than 1% of ATV riders visit this forum. I read your post because we plan to visit Alaska next summer and are trying to decide whether to bring the ATV along. I've ridden lots of places in Colorado and Utah, and am wondering how good the riding areas are up there. I love riding to high altitudes, and am not a "mudder". I've wondered whether there are lots of bogs up there that would prevent good riding. If you ever get a response here and find some good high altitude riding areas, please check'em out and let us know. Thanks!

 

I certainly will, the amazing thing here is that about 20-50 off of virtually every road in wasilla and palmer, there are trails, I laugh when I see people going to the grocery store on their atv out here but I guess its kind of the norm. Ive never been exposed to that. I hear that there is lots of good mudding and non muddy areas. I just need someone to show me where they are.

 

Hello Alaskarider.
DRonland here...we enjoy riding here on the Kenai Pennisula. My friends and I are from Seward and enjoy riding the mountains -- This is a great place to ride --- Crown Point Mine / Moose Pass. Check out the pics on my page. Come down..we'll go with you, or maybe we can come up there?

 

Dronland;
Nice pix! Looks like just the type riding and scenery I'm looking for. Do you ride with a GPS or are those riding areas you show easily found? How high are those mountains you are riding on? Can't wait 'till next year, when we'll head that way. Next month we'll be at the ATV Jamboree in Richfield, Utah, followed by some riding in Colorado near Buena Vista.

 

Alaskarider,
Real easy to find. Just make a left after Trail Lake approx Mile (27), dirt road there. The road will "Y" - stay to left. You can park there about a half mile up from Seward Hwy. Don't go to the right at the Y - "Mining Claims", did that once, scary dogs (part Wolf).

 

Forgot the height - around 4200 Ft

 

there is some really great riding in AK. Especially if you're already out in Wasilla, you're like 2 hours closer than I am. Knik river valley is really great camping/day trip. Also check out Sutton and Boulder Creek (about 90 miles out of Palmer).
