Flattop Mountain

One of the busiest hiking trail, its kinda challenging part in the upper side of the mountain. It really worth it specially on the top with the flag..🇺🇸🏔️

It is always a pleasure to visit and hike the mountain. The last hundred feet is fairly technical, especially in the winter.

Amazing view of the surrounding mountains and city of Anchorage. On a sunny day, you can see Denali that is 143 miles away with a good binoculars. We hiked in early June and some portion of the trail are still covered by snow.

Definetly worth going up to. Parking is tough on a weekend or holiday, but any other day there's lots of parking. Even though it was a bit rainy rhe view was so cool and we enjoyed being up there. Lots of blueberries too! Delicious wild blueberries. There's some informational plaques and a compass that tells you the direction of different mountains and things in Alaska.

Flattop Mountain in Alaska is an absolute must for anyone seeking a challenging yet rewarding outdoor adventure! The hike offers stunning panoramic views that make every step worth it. However, be prepared—it’s no easy feat. The trail is steep and can be quite tiring, so you’ll need some stamina and determination to make it to the top. But once you’re there, the breathtaking views of Anchorage, Cook Inlet, and the surrounding mountains are unmatched. The weather can be cold, even during summer, so layering up is key. It’s also essential to wear great shoes with solid grip, as some parts of the trail are rocky and uneven, especially towards the summit where a bit of scrambling is required. Don’t forget to pack plenty of water! The hike is a workout, and you’ll definitely need to stay hydrated. Despite the challenge, Flattop Mountain is absolutely worth every step. The sense of accomplishment you feel when you reach the summit, combined with the jaw-dropping scenery, is an experience you won’t forget. It’s a perfect hike for those looking to push themselves and soak in the beauty of Alaska’s wilderness. Just be prepared, stay safe, and enjoy the incredible journey to the top!

Very cool it’s an opportunity for you to marvel at all creation, and for a good photo shoot. Be careful not to be blown off the top it gets very very windy. It can be exhausting but it is worth it when you get to the top. Also this shouldn’t need to be mentioned but still DO NOT lean over especially where the wind is blowing you will fall off.

Absolutely stunning!! We didn’t make it to the very top because it was pretty cloudy, but what trails we did walk were very serene, with a mix of a mild to moderate hike.

Definitely a tough place to hike but the views are simply amazing. Take your time to reach the peak of the mountain and enjoy the journey of this great hiking spot.
