The early inhabitants of Alaska migrated from a part of Siberia which is the present-day Russia. Being the largest state in the United States, Alaska was acknowledged to the union as the 49th state in 1959. United States took over Alaska in 1867 and it was nicknamed “Sewards Fooly” after William Seward, the U.S secretary. William was the man behind purchasing of the land from Russian Ownership.
The Kincaid Park in Alaska is named after Ralph Kincaid’s homestead. Kincaid Parka was used as a Nike-Hercules Missile storage unit in the 1950s. In 1980, the land was handed over to Anchorage where it was developed to a park. Visitors of Kincaid Park still view the remains of concrete missile silos which have been converted to storage. Initially, the primary activities in the park were hiking, biking and cross-country skiing but as the park developed, it started accommodating other features like flying disk golf courses, soccer fields and Olympic level cross country skiing. The Kincaid Park is large making the perfect get away place for families.
All trails in Kincaid Park including the Moose Trail are developed and constructed by the acquaints of the Nordic Ski Association of Anchorage. As a result, most of the trails in the park are named after members of the association such as, Arlens Way Overlook, the Mize Loop, The Elilots Climb and Andrew Lekisch Trail System.
