A great way to soak up Alaskan beauty way from the crowds, get off the beaten path (very few hikers on this trail), and enjoy a great exercise. This hiking trek is the most strenuous trek around, so for those who love a physical challenge, this is the one. But it's worth it. It also covers the beginning part of the famed Deer Mountain Traverse (from the South end), a trek your guide has done and is happy to recount his tales.
