Unique and thrilling opportunities await you, just south of Downtown Anchorage. Alaska ATV Adventures offers a wide array of ATV/QUAD/ UTV excursions. Within our pages you are sure to find the perfect fit to engage in the sights, sounds and smells of the northern most temperate rainforest while experiencing the thrill of the throttle through the winding wooded trails of the Chugach Mountain Range.
Alaska ATV Adventures operates from Chugach Base Camp, our headquarters is located just miles south of Anchorage in Bird Creek in the northern most temperate rainforest. This is the largest temperate rainforest on the planet which begins in Northern California, traverses 2500 coastal miles and ends a short distance from our facility. Taiga, also known as Boreal or snow forest, is
just across the river and visible from camp. The world’s largest land biome begins its journey here and sprawls all the way to Siberia.
Getting to Chugach Base Camp is part of the adventure! You will travel the Seward Highway south along Turnagain Arm. The Seward Highway has been designated a National Forest Scenic Byway. While driving this highway you will have the Chugach Mountains on one side with hundreds of trickling waterfalls making their way to the ocean on the other side. The Turnagain Arm waters look different every time you see them with spectacular sunrises and sunsets along the water with towering snow topped mountains and piedmont glaciers surrounding the arm. If you are lucky enough to time your drive to see the boar tide, it should not be missed.
