A steep trail up through the forest (and blueberry bushes) take you out to amazing views of Seward and Resurrection bay. The trail can be muddy in places so exercise caution particularly in the hike down and as per usual in alaska exercise bear awareness and bring near spray. Take a clear day and plan for an early start for the best lighting and amazing visibility! This was such an amazing hike.
