🕐 1:00 PM

📍 Eklutna Lake Parking Lot — meet by the bathrooms

🥾 6 miles round trip | Easy | Minimal elevation gain

👥 Max 20 hikers

👻 Led by Christina Leilani

Grab your costume, your favorite hiking buddies, and your Halloween spirit! We’re heading out for a fun and fairly easy stroll along the lakeside to Yuditna Cabin and back!

This is a relaxed hike with minimal elevation gain, making it a great option for anyone who wants to get outside, enjoy the fall scenery, and spend Halloween with the TrailMates crew.

But the fun doesn't end when we get back! 🎃

After the hike, we’ll have a campfire + social at Rainbow Trout Cabin, which is just a short walk from the main parking lot. Bring a camp chair, hang out by the fire, and stay for some post-hike Halloween fun.

👻 Halloween Social Costumes are encouraged! Shareable snacks are also encouraged if you'd like to bring something to contribute.
