Review & FAQ:

For avid hikers and adventurous travelers, there’s a ton of beauty to behold at popular Mount Marathon. Famous for being home to a grueling racecourse, what many visitors don’t know is that there’s a 2.25-mile route to the top of the Race Point that is equally beautiful but much, much less demanding. The route takes hikers through three different trails, a glacial valley, and up to the top of the mountain’s east buttress. From this point, individuals who make it to the top can enjoy a mind-blowing view of Resurrection Bay and get a lungful of fresh mountain air like no other.
