Summit Lake/Denali Highway

#1 Post by cleary »

Sunday the 15th we drove to Summit Lake. Probably met 200 rigs returning from Arctic Man. We parked the camper on a friend's lot among the cabins and stayed until Friday when we drove in the Denali Highway to Rock Creek (Landmark Gap) and set up camp with the snow plows. Understand that they should have the road plowed to Maclaren today. Check before you count on that. The riding around the Summit Lake area was decent as it was north of the highway. We rode to Maclaren Lodge and then up the 7 Mile Lake Trail to the Lake and back to Rock Creek via Glacier Gap and Lake. The following day we rode up Landmark Gap Lake and Gap to 7 Mile Lake and back to Rock Creek via Glacier Gap. We didn't go up the Maclaren River as Alan said there was a lot overflow on it. We had a great time and 8 days of "severe clear" weather. Saw lots of Caribou but no bears or sign.
