We will be traveling 29.2 miles from Little Coal trailhead to Byer’s Lake with additional mileage for securing campsites and any extra day trips we pursue. The ridge parallels both the Chitina River and Alaska range where North America’s highest peak, Mt. Denali, stands at a massive 20,146 feet. Many others in our state agree it is one of the best locations for witnessing the breathtaking pinnacle. It goes without saying there is plenty of opportunity for stunning photography, wildlife viewing, and boundless exploration. We can provide a map of the route upon request.
