| The Resurrection Pass Trail is 19 3/4 miles long, and is open to hikers, horseback riders, and ATV's. This trail is on a level path, with some gradual grades, and some steep grades with switchbacks. It is well maintained, although it may be muddy in some places.The northern trailhead is 20 miles from the Seward Highway and four miles south of Hope on Resurrection Creek Road. From Hope Highway you turn south at the posted Resurrection Pass Trail signs onto Resurrection Creek Road, passing the fork to Palmer Creek Road. The southern trailhead is on the Sterling Highway, near Cooper Landing or 53 miles east of Soldotna and 106 miles south of Anchorage. A quarter of a mile east of the southern trailhead along the Sterling Highway is the Russian River Campground (84 camp sites, $6 per night for tents) and the trailhead for the Russian Lakes Trail.An alternative route that avoids traveling to the remote northern trailhead is the Devils Pass Trail, which is posted at Mile 39 of the Seward Highway, 88 miles south of Anchorage. The 10-mile path leaves the highway and climbs to Devils Pass at 2400 feet, where it joins the Resurrection Pass Trail. By using the Devils Pass Trail and the lower portion of Resurrection Pass Trail, you can hike from the Seward Highway to the Sterling Highway in two days. |
