The trail leaves the Hydaburg road about 2.5 miles from the Hollis–Klawock highway and climbs about 1,100 feet in 1.1 miles to the One Duck Shelter and open alpine country. It was rebuilt in 2010. In fall the alpine is prime Sitka black-tailed deer country; in winter it is used for backcountry skiing.
