Hiking Highlight (Segment)
Recommended by Lisa
If you follow the ridgeline east of Mount Juneau, you can eventually descend to the Silver Bow Basin that houses the Granite Creek Trail, and walk back to the trailhead on old mining roads.
This ridgewalk should only be tackled by expert hikers who are prepared to handle off-trail navigation, wildlife encounters, steep terrain, occasional scrambling, and snowfields that may linger well into the summer.
However, in exchange for your preparation and efforts, you'll enjoy stupendous views that seemingly never end, and a chance of seeing mountain goats — among all the other wildlife that inhabit this area.
