Two trails, the Lazy Moose Trail and Lazy Mountain Trail, are the primary ascent of the mountain. The former is a longer, winding trail with moderate slopes and an easier climb, while the latter is much shorter and more difficult as it offers the straightest path to the peak. From the top you can see the Chugach and Talkeena Ranges.
