Hike Leader: Christina Leilani TRAIL: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/alaska/lions-head-trail

Short hike. Steep climb. Absolutely ridiculous views. 😍

Join Christina for a hike up Lionshead, a quick-but-punchy trail that packs nearly 1,000 feet of elevation gain into just 2.1 miles.

The trail is steep and can be brushy in sections, so don't let the short mileage fool you, this one will make you work for the views. But once you get up there? Totally worth it.

If you love a hike where you spend less time on the trail and more time staring at an incredible Alaska landscape, this is your kind of adventure. 🏔️
