April Fools (If You're Not Here!)


What a way to start April. It is in the upper 20's in the Nabesna area with mostly clear skies. There's nothing like a few days in Anchorage to make you fall in love with this place all over again. With Mt. Redoubt erupting or spewing ash and steam on a regular basis, Anchorage seemed even less appealing than usual. Thankfully, very little of Mt. Redoubt's ash has made it out here. This is a nice view of Mt. Sanford looking south from Nabesna Road. Lee took this at 10:30 this morning.


Road Conditions:
  • Nabesna Road is in good condition.
  • Watch for ice at Skookum Creek (Mile 40.5).

Insider Tips: Most of the road is still snow packed but there is a lot of dirt and rock showing through. That means flat tire season isn't far away. Make sure you have at least one spare tire in good repair with you (as well as a jack and lug wrench). We usually keep two with us.
