Valley Mountain Bikers and Hikers |
|
We are a recreational trail advocacy group based in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley region of Alaska. We are dedicated to increasing the quality and quantity of sustainable trails for hikers and mountain bikers throughout the Valley.
Thanks to our members and supporters, we have made significant advances toward improving hiking and mountain biking opportunities with new trail construction, trail maintenance and trail advocacy. We have also increased our hiking and biking programs, such as SprocKidz and RUNmatsu which help to get folks out on the trails to experience and explore the Valley.

Trails and ProgramsWe are in constant pursuit of new trails for mountain biking and hiking across the valley, with a recent focus on the Government Peak Recreation Area, where we have built an ADA-compliant trail and an abundance of single track mountain biking trails over the last few years. Our summer programs, RUNmatsu and SprocKidz are representative of our community focus to make the Matanuska-Susitna Valley a world-class trail community and destination. |
VolunteerWe specialize in trail building and would love to introduce you to the joys of trail work on our volunteer trail work days. Trail work is hard physical labor, so if digging in the dirt is not for you, please consider helping with some of our programs, such as SprocKidz or Take a Hike program. There is something for everyone. Read more about how you can help. | New Projects
We are excited to implement a new Trail Counter system provided by TRAFx this summer! As a trail building and advocacy group, we always have local mountain bikers and hikers in mind. This new system will provide us with quantitative data with which to pursue more trail funding, identify specific trail needs and justify our dedication to the fantastic trail systems here in the Mat-Su Valley. Advocacy
We know the benefits of trails and actively promote and advocate for trails for mountain biking and hiking. As trail advocates, we work to ensure that the Matanuska-Susitna Valley is a place we can always go to hike, mountain bike and enjoy the outdoors.
