    Tips

    October 25, 2023

    This is a fun, shared-use trail that ends after two miles, at a rocky outcrop that offers fine overlooks of Mendenhall Glacier from the west side and makes a logical turnaround point. There are some social (unmaintained) trails that continue farther, but aren't maintained or well-suited to riding.



    You should read the Forest Service warnings about off-trail rescues here: fs.usda.gov/recarea/tongass/recreation/hiking/recarea/?recid=78817&actid=50



    As always, you should be alert to the possibility of surprise wildlife encounters too — especially during the early morning and evening hours.
