We rode up here yesterday. From Cleary Summit we headed down the Alpha C Site Trail which now has enough snow and was good riding. We kicked a little snow into the Fish Creek Crossing, crossed without any problem, proceeded to Iowa Dome and down the Cleary Summit/Chena Hot Springs Road Trail to the logging roads. Back up the trail and down into Last Chance Creek and up the creek until we ran into monumental over flow, or "Big Ice" as we call it. Not having studs we turned around started retracing our track back to the start of the Alpha C Site Trail where we took the Bear Creek Cutoff to the Old FE Powerline. Up the Powerline to the Circle Trail and on to Chatanika. The trail from Monkey Rock on the Circle trail to Chatanika is rough but not horrible. The rest was all good riding. We rolled the trail from Cleary to Champagne Rock last week. Not enough snow to groom.
