Starting and ending at the pavement on top of historic Teton Pass, this short but stout run climbs 1700 feet over roughly .9 miles at an average grade of 33.6%.

The Mdaabii Miikna Loop is located in beautiful Pukaskwa National Park. Mdaabii Miikna stands for “go to the shore trail” in Ojibwe. This route consists of the Mdaabii Miikna Trail and also a small section of the Pukaskwa Coastal Trail to form a loop. It is a little over a 3 mile hike from Hattie Cove to get to the start of this loop. Great opportunity for a warm up and cool down.
