About the walk and what to expect: We’ll hike about 2-4 miles total. During this evening walk/hike we'll be moving at a leisurely pace, chatting along the way. Hikers can expect to adventure for about 2 hours - sometimes these events are a bit less, sometimes these activities are a bit more. Our objective is rarely a specific destination - but more about enjoying time in the outdoors.
Parking: Please note participants are responsible for paying relevant parking fees. This is a Mat-Su Borough Park. Fees are $5 unless you have a Mat-Su Borough park pass.
Can I bring my pup? No. For this particular event we ask folks to leave pups behind. Thanks for understanding!
What to bring:
Comfortable & warm tennis/trail shoes or hiking boots
Warm layers
Rain or snow gear (as needed)
Ice cleats (as needed)
Winter gear (hats, mittens, scarves, as needed)
Water and snacks as desired
A note on flexibility: The nature of adventuring outside requires some flexibility. We do our best to follow the itinerary as outlined, but we may need to shift plans for a variety of reasons. Safety is our priority and we use our best judgment when making trip adjustments.
If you need help finding the trailhead or want to contact Revel prior to the event, please contact the team at 907-903-1664.
Trip minimums: We require 2 registered participants to run our community trips. In the event we do not meet our trip minimum your guide will call you the evening prior to our trip departure. In the event we need to cancel a scheduled event due to low sign ups participants will receive a full refund or credit towards a future event.
Weather: We rarely cancel due to inclement weather. Please bring gear to adventure in the elements. If you need to borrow something, let us know! We have lots of extra supplies and are happy to loan items out if needed.
Does Revel host free community hikes? Yes! We offer quarterly, free community hikes. We also have free events that have been made possible through sponsorships. Be sure to check our events page for our most current offerings.
