Amazing views of the big one. We did not have time to do the full ridge but we wanted a view of the mountain - and this delivered. Highly recommend!
Great trail! Straight up and straight back. Got to the top and lots of thunder. Scrambled down and went to the campgrounds at Byers Lake to get some shut eye.
Gorgeous views, well maintained trail
We have hiked this one several times. The view from the top is spectacular. It is especially awesome if you can catch a sundown over Denali. There is still enough light to get down safely after the sun sets over Denali. The elevation gain is not that bad at all and the rest stops offer beautiful views.
