There are a few abandoned cabins/miner's shacks in the general area, and also a number of foundations where cabins may have been at one time. Regarding your question about "... the ALROS TH," I can only say that texting while driving is dangerous. Katrina Z,

Although this leg only gains 452 feet in elevation, it can be a tedious hike when the temperatures are high. If you've hiked uphill through a sandy creekbed, you will know what we mean! Damp conditions are actually beneficial, because the sandy creekbed provides a sturdier, more compacted surface. May temperatures are now trending upward, so please exercise due caution. For the record, I do not hike in lower Slim Jim Creek between July-September. Best regards. Hello Franchise:
