on April 30, 2014Hi, beautiful pictures and place! I would like to go hiking in the Revelations this summer in August, but I don't know much about the logistics. We are a party of 3 from Italy with extensive experience in backpacking in Alaska. Could you please give me some information about the traverse? Where did you land and were picked up at the end? What was the itinerary? Did it involve Dangerous river crossing? Did you need crampons? Can you give me some coordinates?

on June 23, 2012These photos make me really want to visit the Revelation mountains. I'm from England... I don't know of anyone else in the UK who has been, so getting info can be difficult. What time of year were you there to do this traverse? How did you get in (where did you land? Where did you fly from?). Much appreciated. Tom Chamberlain
