Alpine Hiking


Castle Mountain

Though we start out on an old wagon road, we soon cut off onto an obscure game trail and battle our way through brush, along an alpine ridge and finally over a rock glacier to arrive at the base of Castle Mountain. Here we can explore the time-cleansed ruins, weathered wood and relics of the Jumbo Mine. Climbing behind the mine, we can access Bonanza Ridge itself and are rewarded with amazing views of both the Wrangell Mountains to the west as well as the St. Elias Mountains to the south and east. We gain over 3,000 vertical feet as we hike the 5 miles to the mine. Black bear and an occasional Grizzly can be seen. Dall Sheep dot the rocky heights during certain times of the season. Expect a long day of hiking, but the views are well worth the effort.
