This trail—a steady climb of almost 2,000 feet in 2.5 miles from the Mud Bay trailhead to the top of Mount Riley—affords amazing panoramic views of rivers, oceans, mountains, and glaciers. You’ll walk through old-growth coastal forest, sub-alpine stunted trees, and boggy alpine muskegs, all while surrounded by glacially-striated rocks. Hike up and back from the Mount Riley side, or make a bigger trip of it, climbing point-to-point from the Mount Riley trailhead to the Battery Point trailhead (or vice versa). The Battery Point trail adds close to 6 miles, and you’ll need to set up a shuttle for this.
Trailhead is located at approximately 3 mile Mud Bay Road, or a trail junction off the Battery Point Trail.
