Help me fill my days
Posted: Fri Aug 27, 2010 11:53 pm
I'm heading to Anchorage in 3 weeks for 6 nights (fri - thur). I will be staying there at least the first night and then the plan "right now" is to head towards Denali for a few days. I was thinking about the Primrose ridge around the Savage river for one day hike. After the 20th the road is open to mile 20 which may open up another option or two.
We did not win the road lottery (17 - 21) but because of the lottery the hotels that are still open will be booking up soon so I need to firm up some plans with hotels.
I spent 7 months all over Alaska working on a government project in 2002 but have not been back since. Excited that all my time will be free time.
North, South, East and West there are so many options. I think just spending more time in one area is the better decision. We will not have overnight supplies besides normal emergency stuff in the pack.
Any secrets or ideas from you locals or anyone else?
Thanks,
