This was a super easy experience, many options and reasonably priced. Once we pulled up to the…read moreplace to rent a bike, we had options of a regular bike bike with assist or an actual electric bike. I chose the electric bike as I wanted to take in the scene instead of having to huff and puff and peddling the entire time. While he gathered the bikes that we would need the process for a waiver was very easy and it's a QR code that you can do on your phone. You have to pay for your rental before leaving so by the time you come back, you drop it off and it was a very smooth process. The bikes are very well kept, and there is a number on the bike in case you do have any questions or something Has happened then we were given a pretty good easy trail to do in the amount of time that we paid for. I definitely recommend it. It's an easy process and I have absolutely no complaints about this place.

Reasonable pedal bike rental and most important he shared fact that "2am to 6pm" 2 hour free…read moreparking signs are one and two blocks from kiosk. These parking spots are not really enforced by Alaska PD, unlike the Easy park meters that are third party private monitored and continually ticketed. Great bike great ride. They also rent E bikes for the lazy, lame and weak.

Eklutna Lake is a special place and worth about a 20 minute (one way) detour off the main highway…read morebetween Anchorage and Denali. The drive itself is very scenic and once you arrive at the lake area, there's an obvious day use area where you can park and use the pay machines for day use fees. I didn't do much of the trail, as I was heading north to Denali but did spend about 45 minutes or so walking the rocky shoreline and taking in the amazing views. There are a number of trails to explore here as well as kayaking and guided hikes. It's a glacier fed lake and also serves as a water supply for Anchorage. Alaska has no shortage of wonders and it's pretty special that you can drive a short distance from its largest city and arrive to a place like Eklutna Lake. Carry bear spray-sightings are common though we didn't see any.

We didn't hike the full trail, just went about a mile up and back along the lake from the parking…read morelot, but even that short stretch was worth it for the views. There were plenty of spots along the old dirt road where you could step closer to the water and really take in the scenery. There were mosquitoes, but we came prepared with bug spray, so it wasn't too bad. Looking back, we probably would've enjoyed kayaking more. The lake was calm and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Even just sitting by the water felt peaceful. If we go back, we're skipping the hike and getting out on the lake.
