Difficulty |
It is somewhat steep. However, you will want to stop frequently to look down into the canyon at beautiful Victor Creek, so it is not too taxing | |

Description |
Webmaster's Note: Since
Moses
didn't submit pictures with this hike and I was passing this
trail on my way to climb Mt. Marathon, I did
the hike myself figuring to get a few quick snaps. Comments in italics are mine.
A big thanks to her for turning me
onto this place. It was a nice unknown gem for me. The trail follows the bluff along the steep canyon walls looking down into the powerful, milky-blueness of Victor Creek. You never see this one listed in the books, and there is very little parking, so it gets very little traffic. Even so, the trail is very well-maintained. Lots of blueberries in fall, flowers in summer. I was very surprised on what a nice hike it was. For those who know this site, you know tree canopy hikes get low ratings But the trail does open up midway and the river really is very beautiful. I didn't go to the very, very end but the glacier looks very easy to get to if so inclined. ***** The following was submitted by Egore the Black Lab and his keepers: June 17th, 2006 Hello, Egore here! My people took me to
this trail this past weekend. They commented that there was only a small
parking area off the Seward Highway. They also said this trail does not
seem to see much use lately. There was an avalanche and it wiped out the
trail about 2 miles from the trailhead. We picked up the trail on the
other side of the slide area. However, it was overgrown with a
narrow trail. We only saw two piles of scat on the trail. Overall, great
hike for my people and me. |

Important Information |
Not doable in winter due to
high avalanche danger. Black bear habitat. There are some parts of the trail that skirt the edge of high cliffs which commands caution if bringing small children. |
|
Etc. |
Primrose Campground 2 miles down the road is one of the prettiest on the peninsula. | |
