Several areas of landslide on Erie Mine Trail with alternative routes. Eventually became fluffed out and not able to continue on. Minus 90 minutes time due to forgetting to end track.

One of my favorite hikes in Alaska! We only had baby spikes to cross and that was easy. Other recommended crampons but baby spikes was enough. Can do without either but you’ll only get so far on the glacier

Beautiful hike especially in the late August when the trees are changing color. The 1.5 hour one way time listed here is very optimistic and reserved for athletes. I've only ever completed the trail to the half way location, the actual Kings throne, which took over two hours. At that location I have met young folks who are returning from the top and claim they got to the top in about 1.5 hours but I think they must have run rather than walk. The section of trail I've experienced is steep with a lot of turns and very loose gravel. For most people I would guess the time to the top from Kathleen lake is three to four hours.
