Re: 4th of july atv trip

We went up Valdez Creek last summer. A lot of mining activity there. None of it was blocked and we did go all the way to Roosevelt Lake. We also went up Windy Creek.

Absolutely no snow down there. Got the rigs fairly muddy but didn't find anything real challenging. Put on 40 miles. ...

Fairbanks Creek Road plowed.

DOT plowed the Fairbanks Creek Road a couple of days ago. Must be Spring. Haven’t been out to the Circle Trailhead so don’t know if they cleared the turn around and parking there or not.

These restrictions only apply to 3 or 4 of the groomed down hill ski runs that cross state land here. About 50 acres. These restrictions do not apply to any o...
