RoadHikeSkiSnowmachine
A 3.0-mile trail from Pioneer Avenue on Douglas Island to the Dan Moller Cabin. An old road forms the first section, then elevated planks cross the muskegs, with good spring and summer wildflowers. From the bowl you can climb the ridge for views of Stephens Passage and Admiralty Island. It is a popular cross-country ski route, and snowmobiles may use it once there is 12 inches of snow. Cross old avalanche paths quickly.
