From Death Canyon Trailhead take the Death Canyon trail over Phelps Lake overlook and continue west (straight) into the canyon at the Phelps Lake turnoff. Continue up the Death Canyon switchbacks and onward until you reach the trail cabin which will be to the left of the trail. At the cabin take a right turn onto the Alaska Basin trail towards Static divide. Continue up this trail until you reach the divide. 50-100m past the sign for the divide will be a turnoff for the trail to Static Peak. This trail is less well traveled and requires light route finding at times but is fairly straightforward. There is not much in the way of any false peaks, but you will know you've reached the top as a USGS plaque is at the summit. From the summit, retrace your steps back to the trailhead. Enjoy!
