Fun Facts

The trail leads to Upper and Lower Reed Lakes, which were formed by glacial activity and are surrounded by stunning granite peaks.

The trail is approximately 8.7 miles round trip, offering hikers a moderately challenging adventure through Alaska's rugged terrain.

Hikers often spot marmots, mountain goats, and even the occasional bear along the trail.

The trail is most accessible from late June to early September when the snow has melted, and the weather is more favorable.

Hatcher Pass is known for its rich mining history and offers a variety of outdoor activities beyond hiking, including skiing and snowboarding in the winter months.
