Sorry for the late notice Last Friday evening Jenny and a small group left the upper trailhead to hike the entire loop to the lower trailhead. We’re hoping to meet them as they’re on the way down. Distance is TBD. 49.4 mile CHSR Group · Members of Fairbanks Area Hiking Club Fan Page Where: Meet at the trailhead on Chena Hot Springs Road. Go past the entrance to Angel Rocks, over the bridge and take the first left. This is a no fee parking area! What: We'll hike up the lower side of the Chena Dome Trail to meet Jenny and her intrepid crew who have been hiking the entire loop since Friday evening. They will be tired and sore and happy to see friendly faces. This hike has more switchbacks and is not as aggressive as last Monday's hike on the Upper trail. There WILL be mosquitos especially on the first few miles before we start climbing up out of the river valley. The weather will be very much like it is today. Bring more water than you think you'll need, and don't forget to bring some for your dog as well. There is a spring at about 2 miles in, but in all the decades I've hiked this trail I've only found water there once, so don't count on it.

Some of us are meeting at HooDoo Brewery at 4 pm today (sorry for late notice); some are biking there and some are driving. Then on to Music in the Garden (steel drums), either biking or driving. See you there. Carol

When: Monday, 30 May 2022 @ 12:00 noon Join us Memorial Day afternoon for a hike up to Jim Trombley's memorial bench. It's about a 7 mile out and back, half up hill/ half down through forest and amazing views (ever wonder what Angel Rocks looks like from above?) From the bench itself, you can view almost the entire Angel Creek drainage. The upper Chena Dome/Angel Creek trail head is about a half mile past the Angel Creek Lodge on the left, about 4.5 miles from Chena Hot Springs Resort. The current weather forecast calls for a high in the mid 70s so bring plenty of water. Also there will be some mud at the beginning, maybe a patch of snow up around 3 miles and mosquitos galore, so bring your favorite Alaskan Perfume. Dog and kid friendly John Risser 488-6500

Hi folks, From the Nenana River Trails page 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

Posting this for Karen C A hike is scheduled this Wed (10/20) meet at pearl creek school parking lot at 6 pm for a hike approximately 2 hours

Wednesday, 29th of September. 6:00PM~8:00PM ish. Last "official" fun hike of the season. PLEASE NOTE: We are starting at 6PM instead of 7pm. Sun will be setting around 7:25PM this night. Where: From Fairbanks take Sheep Creek road to Ester Dome Road and drive up ester dome road all the way to the top. Here the road ends in a T intersection, turn left and go another 200 yards or so to the first group of small buildings and park there. We will hike out part of the Equinox Marathon trail out and back along ridge lines with awesome views of the surrounding mountains and of the City down below. Weather will be freezing or slightly colder and is forecast to be reasonably clear so dress in layers and bring extras. If the weather cooperates, it's possible to see Denali from here.

September 22nd 2021 7~9 PM Where: Meet at the intersection of Ester Dome Road and Henderson Rd, Fairbanks AK. From Sheep Creek Rd. Take Ester Dome Road and go up about 3 miles to the intersection. You can't miss it! Description: Easy, fun, social, dog and kid friendly hike. Trails are many, and wind through forested areas and across ridges with nice views, we'll take different paths on different nights but meet here each time to get things started. Bring along water, rain gear, and an extra layer, your dog and a smile! Carol Lokken will lead. Time to think about adding a headlamp or flashlight to your kit.

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! John
