Point of Interest
The trail varies from a nearly flat boardwalk over the lower 2.5 miles to a moderately steep grade for the next four miles to Heckman Lake.
June through September are the most popular hiking months in southeast Alaska. Upper elevations are often snow-covered until mid June, making the going tough without skis or snowshoes. A clear fall day, without bugs and with autumn alpine color, can be a great time for a trip, providing you are prepared for sudden weather changes.
