| The GPS track of our trip. Yellow=Alaska Railroad ~10miles. Red=hiking ~6.2 miles. We hiked the trail several times during our three day/two night stay. The camp area has gravel tent pads, picnic tables, a water pump, and even an outhouse. Everything is new construction Quite nice and we were the only ones there. |

Hi Wally, we are looking for a great picture of visitors using our newly constructed bridge. Please contact me if you'd like to share this photo(s) and others in our Forest Service, Alaska Region publications.
Thanks! Carol Teitzel, cateitzel@fs.fed.us
