Peter’s Creek Trailhead

The Peter’s Creek trailhead is tucked up at the foot of Bear Point in Peters Creek about 15 miles from BWBC. Once you arrive, there is only on-street parking for a limited number of cars. Try to park with your car as far off the road as possible. There are 2 options once you start on the trail. One fork goes up to the top of Bear Point and the other stays in the trees and heads back Peters Creek Valley with an option to climb Mt. Eklutna. The trail up to Bear Mtn is very steep with amazing views at the top. Well worth the effort, but be prepared for a very strenuous hike. Once on top, you can follow the ridgeline to Mt. Eklutna then down to the Peters Creek valley trail for a loop hike. The trail meandering back the Peter’s Creek valley is lovely and an easy hike year round. It is also fun to bike back this trail. In the winter we routinely pull a sled or ski back the trail. The trail is also open to snowmobiles depending on snow cover. As with all hiking in Alaska, I highly recommend you bring bear spray and make lots of noise as you hike no matter where you go.
