We are proud to announce VAA has been chosen as a recipient of the @AthleticBrewing Two for the Trails grant program! Athletic Brewing Company’s love for the great outdoors is why they created their Two For the Trails program, where they donate up to $2 million annually to help protect, preserve, and maintain local trails.

With these funds, we plan to complete the current phase of clearing work on Gold Creek Trail over the summer of 2024.

Trails are a vital part of culture and have been since the beginning of humans. They were created to access life-giving water sources, connect communities and cultures through trade routes, and to enjoy the natural beauty of the world. Trails connect us to history, nature, and culture. 

Valdez Adventure Alliance recognizes the economic, mental, and physical benefits of trails. 

We are dedicated to the maintenance, improvement, and addition of several trails throughout the Valdez area.


Thanks to a September grant from Alyeska Pipeline Services, VAA was able to continue work on Shoup Bay Trail right up until first snowfall!
