Cleary Summit-Fish Creek

#1 Post by cleary »

We rode from our place on Cleary Summit to Iowa Ridge and back this afternoon. The Fish Creek crossing has glaciered up and is an easy crossing. While we didn't ride down the ridge to Iowa Dome or on to Chena Hot Springs Road there were fresh tracks in that direction. We went out via the Alpha C Site Road and returned on the Old FE Power Line Trail. With 3 or 4 inches of new snow last night the riding was as good as it gets up here, finally!

The Fresh Tracks you saw in that direction were ours.

Group of three of us ran 11 mi CHSR to Chatanika Lodge for lunch and back today.

CHSR - Iowa Dome - Fish Creek was moderate - fresh powder, kind of rough, but better than last year.

Fish Creek - Cleary was in awsome shape.

Fairbanks-Circle Trail entry point to the Chat lodge had fresh powder but was a lot rougher than I would have preferred.
