Welcome to the Chugach National Forest

This is the Chugach...

America’s most northerly national forest. This stunning landscape stretches across southcentral Alaska, from the salty waters and snowy peaks of Prince William Sound to the fabulous salmon and trout streams of the Kenai Peninsula, covering an area the size of New Hampshire. It is one of the few places left in the world where glaciers still grind valleys into the hard rock of the earth.

Features

Spencer Whistle Stop and Beyond...

A new partnership between the Alaska Railroad Corporation (ARRC) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) provides the public with a distinctive travel and recreational experience found nowhere else in the United States. And the only way to get there is on the Alaska Railroad.
