Mountain: Also known as the
Chitistone Plateau, this geologically rich area offers a twist to the
Goat Trail with an opportunity to hike from Skolai Pass to this high alpine
plateau. Traverse high mountain terrain with views of Chitistone Gorge,
“Hole-in-the-Wall” glacier, 16, 420 ft. Mt. Bona and 15,600 ft. Mt. Churchill.
Wildlife viewing possibilities are abundant, as well as fossil and geode
hunting opportunities. Wolverine Mt. is also a great area for day-hikes.
The trip from Skolai to Wolverine is a challenging traverse through
steep scree, wet areas and involves stream crossings. The 20 mile hike
can take 3-8 days, dependent on day trips desired. Trips from
Wolverine Mt. to Glacier Creek or Doubtful Creek are also an option.
