121 on the Parks HW

Had a good day even though it snowed all day , and the trail was one never ending wash board! How do I find a link to a site for the guys that groom that thing??? I think it's the Ridge Riders, but not sure. Good riding again with you aksnowrider, and akhocky10. I think there must have been 200 people at mile 121 today. SURE am glad we went there though, with the lots all full in P-ville. Geuss I'll have to wait till next time to run into Blondz at the road house! Next ride there will be nothing but smooth trails and bluebird....I promise!

How many miles is it from the hwy to the hills from mile 121?

 

[AKSNOWRIDER]

How many miles is it from the hwy to the hills from mile 121?

I dont know cause we didnt go that far cause it was snowing so hard..but it has to be around 18 miles I would think...

yes mile 127 does have some good swamp riding al the way to the river...have fun watch out for open water

It's 13.5 mi. from the lot to reflector tree. Pulled into 121 at 9:15 was third truck in there, within 15 minutes the lot was overflowing. There was a few campers and trucks parked in a circle which gummed up the works pretty good. The E/W is usually a lot smoother, They'll get it groomed soon I'm sure. Got about 25mi. back before my kid decided to tell me he was sick, and had to turn back. Spent half the night at Mat Su getting him a shot in the boody for some crap I can't pronounce. We'll catch ya'll on the next ride

That would be the Curry Ridge Riders. They have some good updates that people should read in the Trail Notes section. I would also encourage everyone to join up. Every bit helps and they do alot of work down there.

parks mile 127 or 131

I need to know if anyone has broken the trail open at the north end of the Big Peter's Hills......It starts nere little Bunko lake and zig zags up the hill to the tree line.....I have gone there by mile 131 or 127....BLONDZ you were there two weeks ago..... did it look open then?

 

[AK800VE]

I am not familar with that are very much, but where I went to sunday I am pretty sure is 127.

We followed a trail for a little ways but it lead to a big lake and we decided to turn around. the edges where pretty skecthy and we had 2 newbies with us, so we back to the swaps. The trail was pretty much packed down and pretty obvious. There was about 3 ft in the swamps but we murdered them pretty well haha

Not sure if this is much help but i figuare I would give my $.02, if it was worth that haha

127

I need to know if anyone has broken the trail open at the north end of the Big Peter's Hills......It starts nere little Bunko lake and zig zags up the hill to the tree line.....I have gone there by mile 131 or 127....BLONDZ you were there two weeks ago..... did it look open then?

We crossed Swan lake NO Problem two weeks ago... once ya get across there is a beaten path that skirts the opposite side from where ya drop in - stay on the "trail" but watch for open and soft spots on the river. We cut left through the zig-zagy slough - but you can get to the base of the hills via the main river (right) then cutting straight across instead of following the river WHEN the alders are covered. Wasn't enough snow for that yet - which is why we opted for the slough. There are a few ways to pick to get up into the hills from there (again too many alders) but we managed to go up a ways and play in the DEEP powder. I have been up that way to the top of Big Peter and it is a lot of fun up higher - I still just think it is too early yet. Also keep in mind that it is easily 20 - 25 miles to GET to the good playgrounds(pack gas).

Have fun and be safe this weekend!!!!
