The Butte

The Butte seems like someplace we should visit since we lived on Crested Butte. Anyway it was a steep hike up 800 ft in just over a mile. It was located in Palmer, AK about an hour north of Anchorage. The trail was very dense with brush. It had an interesting rubber honey comb type mat to prevent the trail from being to slippery. I guess it helped somewhat but it was so steep, I wished I could just slide down. The view from the top was very pretty and extremely windy. We could see Knik Glacier,
several mountain ranges including Talkeetna and Chugach and the Matanuska River. It was located near Bodenburg Loop Road.
