  • This is a well marked 9 mile (one way trail). Make sure you have a pack with water and atomic rated mosquito repellent. Seriously, I have never had an issue with mosquitoes but Alaskan mosquitoes...

  • Very challenging well maintained trail within Denali National Park. Average hike will be 5 hours so pack some lunch. Dued to the wildlife and distance it is suggested to take a friend with you. Warning, you will take many photos. Start your journey outside the park and head towards the Denali Visitors center dude to the step incline within the park by the Alaskan Railroad bridge built by Phoenixville, Pa in 1921 and still in service today.
  • If you go at the end of July/beginning of August you'll find tons of blueberries and some raspberries along the trail. Pack lots of water and dress in light layers, the trail has a lot of mosquitos near the lakes, but you rise up to the top of the mountain and they clear out for the most part. You'll be climbing through tundra on a well-maintained track, starting in spruce forest that'll become primarily Aspen as you gain elevation. I'd recommend starting from the south end of the trail (just north of the bridge by Grizzly Bear Resort) and have a vehicle or a friend waiting to pick you up at the park visitor center.
