It is March 8-9th. You have to call Alpine Creek Lodge to reserve your room. The Phone number is 907-743-0565. When I reserved my room she said everyone so far had only done the one night. Just mention you are coming in with the Fairbanks Snow Travelers and you will get the discount. I'm getting a bunk in one of the rooms for $60. I don't know the time line of when we will depart Cantwell to ride down the Denali Highway to the lodge on Saturday. It's still quit a ways out, so I'm sure more info will be forthcoming.

Its about a 2-2 and a half hour ride in from Cantwell depending how fast you go. Melissa and I have done it in a hour and a half but thats averaging 50+. We were out there a couple weekends ago. The highway has been groomed and is in great shape. Out by the lodge and a few miles east of the lodge the snow off the highway is deep deep deep, 5 ft plus! But I wont be participating since I will be doing Trek over the top. Hope y'all have a blast!

Hello everyone,
I think it is time to revive this post again. We will meet at 9AM at the turn out/parking area on the Denali hiway in from Cantwell. I have been told it is about 8 miles in from the Parks. I am going down on Friday and staying at the Backwoods Lodge (1-800-292-2232). They put in the room next to John, could be interesting. If you are still interested in going the number for the Alpine Creek Lodge is : 907-743-0565.

Let me know whom is coming so I can know when the day arrives.
