Alaska hiking can be an adventure.
A good trip into the backcountry can fill a hiker's journal with hazards: mosquitoes, bears, devil's club, cold fords in milky rivers, rainy late-summer days.
And hiking here is fun, too. A stroll into the mountains or tundra takes adventurers to places of serenity and end-of-the-known-world beauty. And sometimes there's a lot of sun.
Climbing into the mountains can range from technical feats (up Denali, for example) to the casual (smaller mountains in Denali and Chugach state parks).
So lace up your boots, fill your water bottles and head up the trail.
