Both our parks and we Alaskans deserve so much better.
Alaska’s state government continues to fail its parks system and the many people who recreate in those parklands. A prime example of that is Chugach State Park’s Prospect Heights Trailhead, where the parking lot is in abominable condition despite promises of long-overdue paving.
I first inquired about plans to pave Prospect Heights after learning, in fall 2022, that the state planned to pave the much-lessused Upper Huffman parking lot. In an exchange with Chugach Superintendent Ben Corwin, I learned “both are on the shortlist for paving,” which encouraged me.
