Although it looks like hiking across the open tundra would be very easy, those who try are in for a big surprise. The surface is spongy, often wet, and very uneven. From the gravel pit near the top of North Fork Pass (Km 82), though, a rough trail leads high into the mountains, affording views such as this. A transport truck can barely be seen on the highway far below. August 4, 2003.
