On a clear day you can easily see Ketchikan sprawling below you from the summit of Deer Mountain. Ketchikan International Airport is also visible just across the water, on neighboring Gravina Island.

If you like, you can backtrack to the recent fork in the trail and continue left for a short distance to reach the Deer Mountain Shelter, a first-come, first-serve A-frame cabin. Deer Mountain can even be linked with a long, challenging alpine traverse past Silvis Lakes. However, only hikers who are fully prepared to be self-sufficient in the face of unpredictable weather, challenging terrain, wildlife encounters and navigating off-trail should undertake this sort of adventure.
