Earthquake Park Bike Ride

Depart downtown Anchorage to be transferred to Earthquake Park where you will venture 10-miles of the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail with your mountain bike. The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail lies on the banks of Cook Inlet where on Good Friday in March 1964, Anchorage and much of the rest of south central Alaska was hit with a violent earthquake, measuring 9.2 on the Richter scale. Earthquake Park was created years later in an area that was a housing subdivision before the quake. The park is designed to demonstrate the power of the earthquake and highlights the massive landslide is very forested now, making it somewhat hard to see much of the landslide area. However, moose are abundant throughout this area of the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail. In 2006, 90% of the bike tours saw moose on the Coastal Train during their ride. The moose (Alces alces) is the world's largest member of the deer family. The Alaska race (Alces alces gigas) is the largest of all the moose. Your tour guide will point out moose track, markings and scrapings throughout your trek. Upon conclusion of your tour you will be transferred back to your Anchorage hotel.
