Williwa Lakes trail
Williwaw Lakes is a popular hiking and camping destination in the mountains of Chugach State Parks near Anchorage Alaska. There are several routes you can take to reach the lakes. This video shows you how to get there from Glenn Alps parking lot, the distance is about 6 miles one way via the normal Williwaw Lakes Trail route. One can also head up O'Malley Peak's Ball Park plateau with some steep elevation gain, one should be sure footed for this route. This video also shows you what that route looks like as we returned back to Glenn Alps via that route. Another route up there is from Prospect Heights parking lot, this route adds a mile or so one way, and shares the Williwaw Lates trail section show here.
This is a nice Trail Map of the Chugach State Park offered by the Department of Natural Resources. You can keep it on your phone as a file so that you a useful map with elevation contour lines of places in the park.

Hiking in Alaska - Middle Fork Loop Hike in Chugach State Park
6/1/14 - GoPro camera on a head-mount. We hiked from the Glen Alps Trailhead to the Prospect Heights Trailhead. It was around 6.7 miles. It had sleeted (rain + snow) the day before so the trail was wet and just downright muddy in some areas.
Found some missiles while hiking in Alaska!
I stumbled across this pile of missiles while hiking in the Chugach Mountains. I assume they are deposits from the Nike Missile Launch Site near Fort Richardson. It was an interesting find!

Mt Williwaw, Chugach Mountains, Alaska - Northwest Ridge
Mt. Williwaw Northwest Ridge/The Ramp from Glen Alps - 5:46:27
This was Plan B of the day. The original plan was to finally go and conquer Eagle Peak, but when the forecast called for rain, well, such a long day didn't sound fun at all. So I opted to try and summit Williwaw via one of the more difficult routes.
I knew that the chance for rain was supposed to increase toward noon, so I set a brisk pace up Little O'Malley, across the ballfield, and up again to the west buttress of Williwaw. Those rocks wouldn't be fun in the rain!
Having literally just been here a little while ago with my cousin, I knew exactly where to go and how to do it quickly, so pretty soon I was where we had turned back just a few days ago.
Conditions were dry. And warm. I kept my gloves off, and having the extra confidence of bare fingers was welcoming. Since I was by myself and without gear, I did skirt around two of the more imposing gendarmes. This made the ascent a lot easier than I was expecting! I reached the top of the ridge and the summit of Williwaw in under 3 hours.
Once on the summit, I decided that instead of going back the traditional way up the ballfield, I'd rather have a pleasant traverse toward the ramp and descend that way. Much nicer!
So I took it easy on the way back, and had quite a nice return journey via the hidden lake trail.
Overall, it was an AWESOME alternative to the much further off Eagle, but the weather remained so nice that I almost regret my decision to forego it...
The Williwaw NW ridge is not bad at all in the dry. It gets worse in the wet (as I witnessed last week). But really, the worst parts are very easy to avoid. As Bill Finley has mentioned, the rock is incredibly stable for Chugach choss. I highly recommend this way up Williwaw - it may be the fastest way!
