Valley Mountain Bikers and Hikers

Our Mission: The Valley Mountain Bikers and Hikers is a recreational trails advocacy group dedicated to increasing the quantity and quality of sustainable trails for hikers and mountain bikers throughout the Matanuska-Susitna Valley. Our Vision: The Matanuska-Susitna Valley has a world class trail system for hikers and mountain bikers, with an extensive network of safe, accessible, sustainable trails throughout our urban and rural communities as well as backcountry areas, enjoyed year-round by people of all ages.
