Standing at an imposing 5,761 feet, this mountain towers above the surrounding landscape. The views stretch for miles, including impressive views of Denali on a clear day.
This hike is considered a moderately challenging hike, mostly because of the climb.
Emery Perrenot / AllTrails
You’ll start at the Visitor’s Center and hike to the summit, reaching a little more than seven miles round trip. The elevation gain along the hike is 2,483, but you’ll hike it in switchbacks which makes the climb a little easier.
The trail is well maintained and mostly easy to follow until you reach the overlook.

The trail to the summit from the overlook is a little less maintained, but the trek is worth it. That’s where you’ll find unparalleled views.
