Hill features

Mount Silverthrone is a glaciated peak in the Alaska range, situated 11 miles east of Denali. It is relatively remote, being situated on the northern side of the range. Since fixed wing aircraft are not allowed to land in that area of Denali National Park, the only reasonable approach is hiking in from Wonder Lake from the North. Because of it's remoteness, an expedition style climb is most suitable. For climbers in this area of the park, food is often dogsledded to McGonagal Pass every spring where it can stay until the climb takes place. This climb could take anywhere from 3 weeks to a month depending on the experience and speed of the climbers. Round trip distance for the route is around 70 miles, about 30 miles of which is glacier travel and 40 miles of tundra hiking.
