Mountain-O @ Glen Alps

See the Chugach Front Range from all new angles as you navigate your way around its spectacular peaks, flowering alpine meadows and troll-sized boulders. Starting from Glen Alps parking lot, a short walk takes you to the enchanting start/finish area for a 10:00-11:00AM interval start on your “Short” or Long Course. This is what Alaska orienteering is all about!
