Come Join us at the Solstice Tree Tour!

The Solstice Tree Tour is a celebration of Winter Solstice, festive holiday trees, and healthy outdoor fun for all ages (as well as skiers and non-skiers) and is an Anchorage winter tradition! The Solstice Tree Tour showcases Kincaid’s winter magic while bringing the community together to celebrate and showcase Anchorage’s trails.

  • Decorated Trees are sponsored by local businesses.
  • Free hot chocolate and traditional s’mores will be served as families and individuals travel the 2.5-kilometer Mize Loop.
