Route: P-Town Beat-Down (Palmer, AK)

Location
Alaska, US
Distance
81.1 mi
Description

Josh Hejl submitted the route, which climbs 3 prominent peaks in the Palmer area:  Government Peak (4781'), Pioneer Peak (South summit, 6280'), and Matanuska Peak (6100').  The "Beat Down" requires cycling between the trailheads, which is indicated here under "multisport", but you can do it also by driving between the trailheads.  Note that the higher North summit of Pioneer is not required, as it is a technical, off-trail ascent.  All 3 of these peaks have races on them (see https://www.alaskamountainrunners.org/calendar.htm).
