This section of the Savage Alpine trail takes you on an exposed rocky ridge high above the Denali Park Road. This exciting, challenging, but still well-traveled, portion of trail offers fantastic 360 views of the area and the Savage River below. You also have a good chance of seeing a pika, a small, very cute animal that only lives in high alpine environments. In the summer they are very active gathering grasses and wild flowers to take back to their dens to store for the winter.
