The Johnson Pass Trail is a 23-mile multi-use trail that travels through secluded forest and subalpine terrain of Chugach National Forest on the Kenai Peninsula. The trail follows water for much of the trail and there are some scenic lakes accessible from the trail. The trail can be hiked as a long one-way trip by shuttling vehicles between trailheads or for shorter day hikes from either trailhead. This hike starts from the south access at Upper Trail Lake and follows the shoreline of the lake for the first 5 miles. There are primitive campsites available along the way for hikers setting out on multi-day trips into the area.
