On the next Outdoor Explorer, we are taking a deep dive into the history, planning, and development of Chugach State Park. Chugach State Park is the third-largest state park in the United States, but it is considered the largest urban park in the world because the park is contained entirely within the border of the Anchorage municipality. From the first people to arrive in the Anchorage area to managing and protecting an area that is being “loved to death,” our guests will tell the story of Alaska’s most popular park.
