This paved trail runs along the north-west edge of Anchorage, Alaska next to the inlet's coastline. It travels very near the edge that one will have several unobstructed views of the water. The path also runs through many woodland areas, so be cautious of bear, moose, bobcat, etc. that may be found along the way. It is a multi-use trail, so be courteous of others. Routed by so many roadways and parking areas, it's up to the user to decide where the trail's starting location will be. The journey can be shortened if one uses two vehicles to shuttle.
