The  hike up Bunker Hill (or Hill 400) is a moderate climb along a WWII- era gravel road and is approx. 1 mile with a 400 ft    rise. The route passes prehistoric sites as well as numerous WWII ruins, and has the potential for viewing of marine life and bald eagles. There are several beautiful vistas along the hike with views of the Dutch Harbor and Captains Bay areas. On the top of the hill is a large concrete bunker, the remains of a battery command station from WWII, along with remains of four circular Panama mounts for 155mm guns.
  The Museum of the Aleutians offers a two-hour guided hike up Bunker Hill for cruise ship passengers and visitors. The guide provides information on  prehistory, history, and flora and fauna of the area. The hike takes two hours round trip from the bus stop at the bottom of the hill, with several rest stops at viewpoints. A minimum of 10 and a maximum of 25 guests can be accommodated per hike. 
 For pricing and additional information, please contact MOTAs education and outreach manager Thomas McLenigan at         [email protected]
  Note: This hike is weather-dependent and will be canceled if the weather is inclement. Guests are asked to wear sturdy footwear and bring raingear.
