This is probably the shortest route to the summit of Mt Lukens. I have hiked most of the the segments at one time or another, never strung them all together.
My hiking partners vehicle died on the way to Haines Cyn Ave so I was on my own. Got going about 5:50 am at first light.
I call this CR Ridge because it follows the old General Telephone cable route to Mt Lukens. They would have made it as short as possible.
The weather was ok-ish. I made it to the summit before 9am saw a couple deer at the 1st road crossing
Also found an intact 60's era deposit Pepsi bottle that survived being chucked off the mountain and 2+ brush fires.
It is probably not worth much 10-20$
I wasn't busting a gut to get there but this route except for one or 2 segments for the right person with good weather and a tailwind could get someone to the summit in record time
