The head of the Ketchikan Volunteer Rescue Squad described the Silvis to Deer Mountain traverse as 'probably the most underestimated hike that we have locally.'
Two people were rescued on July 27 after losing the trail during a backcountry hike near Ketchikan. The pair was unharmed.
“They were doing a Silvis to Deer Mountain traverse with a scheduled overnight over on Mahoney Mountain,” Kiffer said. “We had kind of sketchy cell phone connectivity with them. They had to get just in the right position to be able to get a signal, but they were able to get a signal out,” he said.Kiffer says the episode serves as a good reminder that the 14-mile trek is a challenging hike even for those with plenty of experience outdoors.
