This is a really long day trip - and not for the faint hearted. After the Alaska lake turnoff the trail is very hard to follow through the slide alder and thimbleberry - disppearing and reappearing. Then it gets steep - really steep - one section had a length of yelow rope to hang on to. Thank you to whoever put that there. An extremely strenous hike only for those very confident in their navigation and good fitness. I wouldn't recommend this to the inexperienced, timid or in poor weather.
