Harp Mountain

Chugach State Park

Description

This hike takes you up the west ridge of Harp mountain, 5,001' at the head of the South Fork Valley. It is said to be the easiest 5000' peak in the Chugach. It is a steady climb up a moderate slope with an easy to find trail. There is very little scrambling, and it can easily be done in under 3 hours. Spectacular views of both the Hiland and Eagle River valleys await you at the peak.
