5 star hotel in with great hikes only minutes away. Nice bus service into town, you don't need to get back into your car. Hikes can be as long or short as you wish.

On the way up, I went the "Difficult" way up. It climbs 3,000' in 2.2 miles or an average of 25% grade. It was like straight up! On the way down I did the longer switchback path. Much nicer than the shorter route.

Bodenburg Butte
This is one of my favorite places to take kids, family, and friends when they come for a visit. It is a truly "Alaska" experience to be able to wander among and feed the Reindeer here. And the scenery on the way can't be beat! Landscape wise, Pioneer Peak is the star of the show on this trip along the Old Glenn Highway & Bodenburg Loop Road.
