    Tips

    Hiking

    At just 874 feet (266 m) in elevation, you might not expect much from Bodenburg Butte. But it sits like an island in the middle of flat farmland, so climbing up to the rocky top of the butte — via a trail that is roughly 25% stairs — provides really beautiful views of the lush farmland around you and the nearby mountains.

    Running

    If you like running stairs, this is the destination for you. The trail up this 874 feet (266 m) butte has hundreds of stairs on it. It's also very popular with hikers and has very little room to pass, so if you're planning to run you might want to aim for a less-crowded time of day. (During the day on weekdays is usually a fairly safe bet. This trail is almost never entirely empty, but it's less likely to be crowded during the day.)

    Hiking

    From Bodenburg Butte you have a great 360° view of the surrounding mountains and the Knik Glacier, which feeds the Knik River of the same name. The butte itself was also formed by glacial activity. The panoramic view is definitely worth the strenuous climb (including a staircase with 527 steps).
