The summit of 3,960-foot (1,207 m) Tanalian Mountain is a beautiful — and challenging — destination for a day hike. Please remember that weather changes quickly here; park rangers advise that you should always be prepared with rain gear, even on seemingly clear days.

Once you pass the trail junction with the Tanalian Falls trail, you may find yourself wading through an overgrown trail — but don't despair. As you start clearing the treeline, you'll enjoy ever-more-impressive views over the surrounding area.

Running

The trail up Tanalian Mountain climbs quickly and steeply up to 3,960 feet. It overlooks Lake Clark National Park and a lot of the surrounding mountains, glaciers, and lakes. This is a tough run that is primarily a power-hike during the uphill. Coming down can be slick but offers a real Alaskan mountain running experience.
