Seven of us went. If you were thinking of going on this ride today but didn‘t you planned correctly! We were in the sun though.
We started down the Whites trail system then turned around after 5 miles for the pipeline. We explored a narrow trail off the pipeline that had a STEEP hill climb. Thank goodness for the large sharp rocks under the skinny snow layer. It made for great traction. Here are some pics.
I learned a few things today. #1 Don’t joke around with the 78 year old Don on a Renegade. He’ll take you seriously and do it. #2 FST ladies can ride with the best of em!

We started to ride with you guy's but when we got to the 28 mile we seen the lack of snow, we deceided to ride the Pipe line instead and that was not a good idea either.
We rode North towards Globe Creek and ran into bare ground and solid ice for several hundred yards, turned and rode South found better snow but still not to good.
I think if I ride again it will be Cantwell or wait for quit a bit more snow here.

1-907-822-5444 is the number to contact Sue and Alan at Maclaren Lodge. It's important to remember that the rooms there and at the Paxson Lodge are warm and dry, but definently not 5 star. You can check out Maclaren Lodge at www.maclarenlodge.com.

The link to the Maclaren Lodge in the last post doesn't work as it has a period on the end of it. Try this for the lodge:

If you want a nice room with private bath at Maclaren get a room in the "River View Duplex". The other accomidations are nice and clean but more basic. We love it there.

Dave,
There are links to the websites of both The Backwoods Lodge and The Maclaren River Lodge at the extreme right half way down the "Home" page of this web site. I've stayed at both. The Backwoods Lodge is a better facility and easier to get to but it's location is nothing special. The Maclaren River Lodge is pretty basic lodging but its location is spectacular!
