This is the tallest mountain on Douglas Island at 3337 ft. The trail that leads up the mountain to the summit is about three miles.
The start of the trail goes through a beautiful old growth forest. You can see the glowing green from the plants all around as the trail ascends gradually. Once you hit this beautiful waterfall and cross the bridge into the bog, things get STEEP!
A beautiful bridge.
Some steps make the beginning of the trail a little easier.

Jonny leads the way!
The peak is in the distance. That's where we're going!
There was quite a bit of snow, even in late July! I just had to build a little snowman.
Basins filled with snow.
Juneau sure looks tiny from the summit! You can see the Gastineau Channel that divides Juneau from Douglas Island with some very tiny cruise ships in port.
Yay! We did it! Such an amazing view!
We sure got a workout, but the views made the entire hike totally worth it!
Jonny takes in the views before we make our way back down.
Heading back for Juneau. We can see our condo from here!
