Hiking along the old roadbed, you’ll only need to go about 1/4th of a mile before coming to the Bear Mountain turn off, at left. The trail winds up through the forest and dense brush before reaching the alpine tundra. If you hike north over to Bear Mountain point, overlooking Mirror Lake, you’ll be at an elevation of 3,160 feet
Following the Glenn Highway north from Eagle River, take the Peters Creek exit, turning right onto Ski Road. After about a mile, turn right on Whaley. Stay on Whaley as it becomes Chugach Park Road, and then turn left on Kullberg. Follow Kullberg through several switchbacks then turn right on Malcolm Drive. After about ½ mile, just before the road bears left, you’ll spot a trailhead straight ahead. Park in the cleared space along the right side of the road.
