Nenana River Trails
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 |

3rd Wednesday Fun hike: Moose Creek Bluff.
开云体育When: Wednesday, 21 July, ‘21??? 7PM~9PM
?
Where: DO NOT USE FACEBOOK OR GOOGLE TO TRY TO FIND THIS. They will take
you to a lodge in beautiful downtown Moose Creek.
From Fairbanks head south on the Richardson, through North Pole and over
the flood control bridge. Just after crossing the railroad tracks look for a
turn off to the left. The bluff is a large cliff with graffiti all over it. Meet
at the parking area at the base of the bluff. If coming from Eielson or Salcha
it will be on the right just after you pass Eielson Farm Rd.
?
This moderate hike is about 2 hours and goes through forested areas over
the bluff with some great views. Dog and kid friendly. There shouldn't be any
bugs, Parts of the trail can be muddy so plan foot wear accordingly. It WILL be
getting dark by the time we get back to the parking lot so a head lamp might be
a good idea.? This will be the last bluff hike of the summer/fall season,
next time we do this will likely be on snowshoes on a weekend!
