Tips:

• You’ll be climbing pretty much the whole way, so give yourself plenty of time in case you’re not used to peak climbing. However, the views of the turnagain arm are some of the best on this hike. You can also catch view of Anchorage and Denali mountain from the top on a clear day.
• Once you get above the tree line the trail keeps climbing towards the peak. It does get quite steep and requires some scree scrambling to get to the very top.
