The official Mount Healy Overlook Trail ends about halfway up Mount Healy, not at the top of Mount Healy. This windy, exposed overlook grants you fantastic views to the south and of the park entrance. While you can continue upward to the summit, which is about 1,500 feet higher and another 1.5 miles beyond the overlook (where the official trail ends), hiking on these ridges is steep, exposed, and rocky. Regardless of whether this overlook is a stop on your way to the summit, or your final destination, this is great place to stop, eat some snacks, sip some water, and take some photos.

Wonderful viewpoint. In good, clear weather you can see Mt. Denali from there. Sturdy shoes are recommended, a good level of fitness is required
