Description

Kashevaroff Mountain is a 1,929' (587.96 m) peak that can be accessed off of the Chiniak Highway located on Kodiak, Alaska, and is marked with a small wooden sign across from the parking lot. The trailhead begins on a four-wheel trail in the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, winding through the muddy terrain and rolling hills until reaching rockier topography. While the trail is more moderate than difficult, bears sometimes frequent the area during the summer months, as the trail is located next to Salonie Creek and has tall brush surrounding the path.
