5.00Excellent hike up to Mount Marathon - my top adventure in Alaska. Dylan is a skilled guide and very knowledgable. It was so great to get out of the car and into the wild beauty of the mountainous Alaska coast to not only see it but to smell it, touch it, and feel it under your feet. This made me happy.
