The Dave Churchill Memorial trail goes from the Willow side of Hatcher Pass, over the pass, to Baldi Mt. (Or Wet Gulch Trail). This is typically a winter route for snowmachiners, but if the weather is right, you can hit this trail in the rigs. Much of the trail is swamp, and there are a couple dangerous hill climbs, that make this trail nearly impassable when wet.

These are picture from this summer (July I believe) when we ran this trail with good success. It is usually a 2-3 day run, but we were able to get over the pass in one day because of the conditions. However, We camped at the other side for good measure. (Here is a link to a video compilation with video and pics over music).
