Mount Juneau rises behind the town, and its trail climbs from near Ebner Falls to the summit at 3,576 feet. The route is a steep, serious hike that many people treat as a planned outing rather than a casual walk.

A hike here means setting out early. The full round trip is about 12 miles and takes around 10 hours, and the route carries on along the ridge past the summit. Wildlife is common here, and the trail suits hikers with experience.

• Hike with a buddy and be bear aware; some backcountry areas have no cell service.
• The ridge loop is an expedition that needs planning and proper dress.
• The short out-and-back is 3 miles round trip, a lighter option than the full ridge route.
• Wildlife sightings are common along the trail.
