One of many unique landforms visible from the Chitistone Plateau area.
*Chitistone Plateau: Also known as Wolverine Mountain, this area offers a twist to the Goat Trail with an opportunity to hike from Skolai Pass to a more north-western location than Glacier Creek. You will traverse high mountain terrain with views of Chitistone Gorge, “Hole-in-the-Wall” glacier, 16, 420 ft. Mt. Bona and 15,600 ft. Mt. Churchill. Wildlife viewing possibilities are abundant as well as fossil and geode hunting opportunities. Chitistone Plateau is also a wonderful area for day-hikes. The trip from Skolai to Chitistone is a challenging traverse through steep scree, wet areas and involves stream crossings. The 20 mile hike will take you 3-8 days dependent on day trips desired. Trips between Chitistone Plateau and Glacier Creek are also an option.
