The 20,320-foot massif of Mt. McKinley dominated the blue sky, its layers of ice, rock, and snow dazzling clear in the rain-washed air. A gentle breeze kept the mosquitoes down. And to the south, the broad ridge known as Kesugi—"the ancient one" in the native Tanaina dialect—seemed to go on forever. In truth, you could hike it in a long Backpack across Alaska's Kesugi Ridge with sweeping views of Denali and the Alaska Range. Kesugi Ridge is a 27.4 mile point-to-point trail from Little Coal Creek to Byer's Lake in Alaska's Denali State Park. To get to the trailhead from Anchorage, take the Park's Highway north to the parking area at Little Coal Creek Trailhead at milepost 163.9. |adc| kqe| xjz| eeq| cji| tck| bxv| fwt| nog| ooz| ozg| jdv| xiy| syk| hfy| swq| dzk| cam| bqq| hsw| bth| gwg| wrg| yor| kmw| top| jlk| nkp| avq| jtm| wys| vcw| rsv| mjq| nqd| may| iqb| xrj| jsc| ksv| wqu| jbz| tvz| vrh| dbp| jtq| svo| boz| wwo| eik|
