The. Ridge flattens out where views of the trackless north are inspiring and continues, through the occasional high alpine meadows for a couple of miles before beginning another ascent. Views of the Alaska Range are quite spectacular on clear days. Depending on the route taken, this hike will gain between 1700-2300 feet in elevation and cover 7-9 miles: This hike will return to the Lodge around 3:00 PM.
