Bold Peak (7,522 feet) stands on the east side of the head of Eklutna Lake, about 2.5 miles northwest of Bashful Peak. There is no trail to the top: the standard route via Stiver's Gully starts with a 10.5-mile bike ride along the lake and climbs roughly 6,500 vertical feet of loose rock. The Bold Ridge Overlook Trail reaches tundra below its west face. Expect high wind, exposure and year-round snow.
