Every 4th of July there is an epic local race up Mount Marathon. However, every other day of the summer it is a beautiful and strenuous outing for experienced hikers. Much of the route does not have an established trail as the top of the mountain is covered in loose rock called scree. Choose your own adventure to the top and enjoy incredible views of glaciers, oceans and more mountains. It's about 5km roundtrip and 900 meters vertical. #hike #summit #views
