Alaska Hiking: The Ramp via Hidden Lake


Trail run loop from Glen Alps trailhead - powerline pass - cross 2nd bridge - stay left and work your way up ridgeline to Hidden Lake - Traverse ridges with spectacular views all the way to the Ramp summit. From the Ramp, you could easily bag the Wedge (across Ship Lake Pass heading back toward powerline) in the same day (we ran out of time, though). We ran back down the Ship Lake Pass side and back out via powerline. Still in honeymoon phase with Alaska, and as usual, I remain in complete awe of the adventures you can have right out the back door up here! This one is not to be missed!

The Ramp: elevation 5,240 feet
Loop distance: about 11 miles
