One of my favourite hikes in Alaska. Had to think about it when looking at coverage of the wildfire in Yosemite because parts of the trail had been destroyed by fire when we were hiking there (we almost lost our way and had to make a big detour to get back on track). A "tor" is a free-standing rock formation which has been preserved due to the resistance of weathering of the rocks relative to their surrounding.
It's also nice to see how the vegetation conquers back the areas of previous fires.
