July 7-8 ATV Ride to Canwell Glacier

#1 Post by dryer »

All, I will be leading an ATV ride to the Canwell Glacier area. It can be a day trip or an overnight event. Canwell Glacier is located about 1 hour south of Delta Junction and is behind the Rainbow mountains. The plan is to meet at Fred Meyers west at 8:00am on July 7th (Sat). I will be driving a Ford F-350 pickup with an Arctic Fox camper and two ATV's. If you chose to make this a day trip, drive to mile 214 Richardson Hwy. There is a pull out and a dirt road that takes off to the left. Follow this dirt road for about one or two miles and look for me. The dirt road will go thru a narrow canyon then it opens up. If you look at google earth, you will see trails in this area including one that follows along the glacier. For more information and details contact Dan at 750-1163

I plan on going. Are you camping overnight? If so, I'll pack accordingly.
