request for 2-3 day hikes from Anchorage or Juneau?
Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2010 6:33 pm
Hello. Hoping for some suggestions / comments about a good 2-3 day hike from Juneau or Anchorage for the first week of May. I am travelling for work, and I need to book a ticket asap, and I'm considering adding a few days into the weekend to see some of the backcountry.
Regarding level of difficulty, I am competent, have ascended many 14ers in Colorado where I live, but I do not want to over-extend myself as I have no experience hiking or climbing in Alaska, and I am concerned about anything that would be hard to navigate (prefer an established trial) and I don't wish to be fjording rivers or taking on anything I am not familiar with....
I plan to bring basic winter camping gear and snow shoes and/or crampons/axe. I will be solo.
Thanks for your response!
