Rambler Mine Trail
The hike at the end of Nabesna road up to Rambler Mine was beautiful. Actually the trail it's self was ok but once at the mine the view was amazing and if you just walk a little further up to look out over the valley it is one of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen. The trail is uphill and it's short but you gain elevation fast. The information from the National Park Visitor center was pretty accurate. I would very strongly suggest walking a little past the Mine to get the best view of both sides of the valley. We also saw Dall sheep at the top.

Short but tough
This is a challenging hike at the end of the Nabesna Road. The road itself is fun and interesting to drive. It’s rough for the last seven miles. If it’s been wet and you don’t have a four wheel drive you might think twice about attempting to get here. But once you park at the end of the road you walk on or around the unmaintained extension of the road to the trail head. Then be prepared for a lung expanding half mile trudge straight uphill to a collection of mining artifacts and buildings and dramatic views.
