Quick stop

Just below Anchorage on the way to Seward is the Chugach state park and forests. There are multiple sites you can reserve but there are also some backcountry spots you can just walk to. Be warned that you need to bring all of your supplies with you, water, food, toiletries.

Its beautiful but we didnt really get to stay there long enough since since we were on our way to Seward.
