This route provides beautiful 306-degree view of the Mt. Sanford, Drum, Wrangell and Zanetti This route takes you through stunning alpine terrain around the north side of Mt. Sanford.

The route crosses mostly debris-covered ice of two sizable glaciers but is mostly on tundra benches and rocky slopes. Most of the route is above brush-line.

There are non-technical glacier crossings, and two river crossings that are straightforward. There are some rock and steep ascents and descents to Boulder Glacier but great walking along the east side of Boulder Glacier

Includes good water sources, flat camping, and great views of Sanford. Along with other wildlife, caribou are common along the route, and you’ll frequently walk in their trails.

After a two moraine covered glacier crossings there is a relatively easy walk up and over to Sandford Glacier

Best way to get to kennicott!

Used this service in and out to lodge. was excellent service and good pilots. highly recommend this instead of the drive. scenic.
