One of the hardest, but also most gorgeous runs.
The trail climbs over the Kaltag mountains following the Kaltag river and later the Unalakleet river all the way to the coast.

Still dissing innocent geography, are we?
Guess the park by reading Google reviews!
max climb: 4.2%
Wheee! potential: -4.5%
Bower's trail descriptions (remember those?) mention the 800 ft climb and drop over the mountains, plus two cabins available for rest, one of those being a German nightclub.
We will come to that later.
"At night, you should be able to pick out the flash of the Unalakleet airport beacon (green, then white), or at least its reflection. As long as you can see the beacon flash, you'll know that it is not snowing between you and Unalakleet."
