Absolutely amazing. My husband and I went during the week and where the only soles in this beautiful country. Now, that's religion!! This trail was relatively easy. However, we kept on going, climbing the rocks and beyond became a little strenuous. Dress in layers.

I had the great privilege of living in Healy last year this trail was one of my favorites. It is a very short but beautiful area full of wildlife as is the rest of Alaska. Although its a bit cooler out I would aim for late August for a trip like this, because you will have a better chance at seeing the northern lights.

Spring and fall is the best time to go if you prefer to avoid crowds. You are certain to see bald eagles. Occasionally bears, and moose. The Kenai River is a popular place for combat fisherman catching salmon.
