Trails: 

Tony Knowles Coastal Trail

The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail is an 11-mile long paved, multi-use trail along the coast of Anchorage, Alaska. The smooth asphalt is good for bicycling, inline skating, jogging, walking, or cross-country skiing in the winter. This is one of the most heavily used trails in the Anchorage area, so you probably won't be alone.

The trail starts in Kincaid Park and ends in downtown Anchorage off of W. 2nd Street.
