From the airstrip near the headwaters of Skolai Creek there are many directions to head for great day trips, as well as various camps within an easy day's hike. Watch
house-size chunks of ice crumble off the Russell Glacier into Upper
Skoai Lake; gawk at the Hole-In-The-Wall Glacier, with seven independent
icefalls tumbling into the shadows of Mt. Baldwin; explore Chitistone
Pass and the upper reaches of Chitistone Canyon and historic 'goat
trail'. Walk along an elevated, open plateau for fantastic views
of the mighty St. Elias Mountains, including close-ups of Mt. Churchill
and Mt. Bona. This is a special place offering a variety of different
hikes and wonders. |
