I have to say that Cordova is one of my favorite places that I had the chance to visit in Alaska. Unfortunately, I only had a few days to spend there, but the Heney Ridge Trail was truly the highlight of my trip. Even with all the rain and fog we had, it is one of the prettiest and most interesting hikes I've ever been on.
As part of my Prince William Sound project, I wanted to do a piece about recreation opportunities in fairly remote locations. In the following slideshow, you'll see the unbelievable attention to detail and effort put in by the Chugach trail crews to build a safe and extremely usable trail through an otherwise rugged area that is, as Dave Zastrow puts it, "a little off the beaten path." What you end up with is a incredible hike with a very unique combination of natural beauty and manmade structures.
