The Baranof Cross-Island Trail, which results in the small community of Baranof Warm Springs around the eastern side from the island, is really a popular summer backpacking trip. Only serious and experienced backpackers, or individuals with an experienced guide, should undertake this type of trip because of volatile climate conditions in the mountains and also the required crossings of icefields with crevasses. The dormant volcano Mount Edgecumbe is another popular mountain to summit and includes a seven-mile (11 km) trail as much as the top. Guided day-trips can be found, but the trip doesn't need much knowledge to attempt. The officially unnamed, but informally named Peak 5390 (the name comes from its height in feet) may be the highest point on Baranof Island along with a demanding climb. Few individuals undertake this peak; those interested should talk to one who has summited previously. Kayaking is really a popular activity and small guided day excursions can be found locally. For extended trips, popular destinations range from the Baranof Island-located outposts of Goddard hot springs, Baranof Warm Springs, Port Alexander, Port Armstrong, or Port Walter.
