Let’s get moving so we will be ready when the trails open. We are meeting at the singletrack pullout, about 1 mile up ester dome road, tomorrow (Monday, May 2) at 6 pm. We will walk up the road about 2.5 miles and then back down 2.5 miles to our cars. We don’t need to walk as a group so you can start walking whenever you get there, but I will wait until 6 pm before I start. See you there. Carol Lokken

Great, Ken! Just make sure that you comment to the NPS so they know your support.

I am for any development of recreational projects in Alaska. We can only see 1% of our beautiful state now
On Thu, Oct 28, 2021 at 9:15 AM Don Kiely < don@...> wrote: Hi folks,
From the on the Denali National Park website:
"Denali National Park is considering developing trails and related recreational infrastructure in the area of the park between the Nenana River and the Parks Highway (the 'Nenana River corridor'). The NPS is in the early stages of exploring ideas for this area and would like to hear your thoughts on how any development in the Nenana River corridor can best serve visitors and conserve park resources."
The project is in the early stages of development, and the document on the project page I linked to above has maps and some conceptual ideas for the project. The area goes from bridge to bridge, where the Parks Highway is within the park.
This could be an interesting development, certainly for hikers, but maybe also for paddlers and river access? It would be pretty cool to do an easy hike to the confluence with the Yanert. Or should the park leave the area alone?
Anyway, chime in with?your thoughts and comments if you are so inclined. Comments are due by 11/24, and there is an informational meeting on 11/10.
Don
