I know that this page is rated low importance, and I'm not sure how wiki goes about doing their content assessment schedule, but I'd like a second/third set of eyes to go through everything? I've added as much as I can with citations (there was one I couldn't find regarding the US Army's training facility) and I'm happy with where the article is at now.

... that Isabel Pass has been called "one of the best passes through the Alaska Alps"?

Comment — I found nothing in the source correlating to the hook, plus there is no such thing as the "Alaska Alps". I doubt a preponderance of sources exist which make a connection to the term existing as a colloquialism. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 20:09, 28 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
- I should have probably been more specific in the comment. I'm new to this and still getting the hang of things. It's in the last paragraph before the section Construction of the Valdez Trail, 1898-1906 and Lt. Joseph Castner is talking about his exploration of the pass as part of the Glenn expedition of the Copper River Basin in 1898. "Alaska Alps" is referring to the Alaska Range, and that term seems to be an idiolect of his. Would something like "... that Isabel Pass has been called "one of the best passes through the 'Alaska Alps'" be more clear? Subarcticsensing (talk) 01:17, 29 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
