Flattop

looking south at the Turnagin Arm and the Kenai Peninsula

-The most popular hike in Alaska.
-Never go without cell coverage
-In fact, you hardly lose sight of Anchorage
-"easy to moderate" hike
-GORGEOUS view: Mt. Redoubt, McKinley, Susitna, the inlet, Fire Island, etc.
-1.5 miles up, 1500 ft (same distance/height down obviously)
-3510 ft. at the summit
-perfect place to build a castle, as it is already flat
