Alaska trails · Granite Tors Trail
A 14.0-mile loop in Alaska, with 2,489 ft of climbing. Reaches Granite Tors. Managed by Alaska DNR – Chena River State Recreation Area.
The climbing leans toward the first third: 52% of the ascent falls between mile 0.0 and mile 4.7. It gives back about 2,936 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
