The Portage Creek Trail climbs from the northern banks of Lake Clark up to the tundra. It follows Portage Creek up the hillside after a pretty flat first mile. The trail can have a lot of growth and can be hard to see at times. Try to stick to the trail since there is private property close by.

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.

Tanalian Falls is a 30-foot waterfall found near Kontrashibuna Lake along the Tanalian River. There are some benches at the overlook area and camping at the end of the Lake Trail. The further past the falls you run, the fewer people you will see.

Here at the end of the Confluence Trail you can to Three Forks where the Lethe and Windy Creek merge to form the Ukak River, also known as Knife Creek. The water flows downstream from here to Ukak Falls.

The two-tiered Brooks Falls viewing platform is the most popular place to be in Katmai National Park, because it offers great overlooks of the biggest and most dominant bears fishing around the waterfall. It can get crowded in July, so you should expect to wait a while before being allowed onto the platform. Your time on the platform may also be limited, usually to about an hour. There are restrictions on tripod use as well.

Ukak Falls, a mighty cascade of ash-laden water, is one of the common destinations on ranger-led hikes from the Robert F. Griggs Visitor Center in Katmai National Park. Use caution if you wander near the canyon rim — its edge can be unstable.

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.

Thundering Tanalian Falls makes a spectacular endpoint for this hike. The trail splits just before the falls, offering you access to two different viewpoints.
