  • Starting at the Eagle River Nature Center we hiked the Crow Pass Trail then bushwhacked / thrashed our way up towards Red Eyed Pass, dropped down to Blue Eyed Lake, set up tents, ate healthy meals and slept before scree climbing our way up to the chossy summit of Devil’s Mistress. The following day we used Inferno Pass to hop on the Eklutna Glacier, crossed the blue ice and snow, reached the base of Sunlight Mountain, then scrambled our way to the top which offered brilliant views of the sounding glacier and peaks.

    Great job. Quite the terrain from greenery with beautiful wild flowers to desolate rocky paths to snowy cliffs. Beautiful. You must be giving your mother a heart attack every time your foot slides on the gravel😮

      It was very diverse! I think my mother has become desensitized to my antics in the mountains! Thanks for watching

    Amazing video, looked a little rough going to start through all the green shrubbery, heading up the mountain, looked pretty scary in some spots, thought it was amazing !!

      It was a little rough, but it made the summit that much sweeter! Thanks for watching!

    Thank you so much for sharing! I love hiking but, yeah no. I will go there in mind. But not so much in the physical. Not like that high.
