Folks going to Cantwell should have a nice ride by or south of the Igloo.

This from Susie at Maclaren today. Valdez Creek is on the east bank of the Susitna River. Rock Creek is mile 24 on the Denali Highway at the Landmark Gap Trail Head.

Hey guys, the Denali Highway is open beyond Tangle – they were at Rock Creek last night and should be beyond there by the end of today.
I hear the miners are through to Valdez creek on the other side and that the road crew is right behind them.
Should not be long until the road is open all the way.
