| Serious, well-prepared hikers can travel for many miles beyond Father Brown's Cross, to Gold Ridge (at 3,258 feet), Gastineau Peak (3,666 feet) and Roberts Peak (3,819 feet) in particular. As you can see in this photo, summer comes late even at these fairly low altitudes - that's partly due to the record-breaking snowfall in Juneau this past winter (197.8 inches). |
