The primary purpose of FAHC is the hikes, but we do a lot of other things.
Coordinating all of the activities of FAHC takes a fair bit of work
that can only be accomplished through the generous efforts of our
members. We keep our meetings light and fun, and they are a great way to
get to know the other members.

Kesugi Ridge
Moderately Strenuous: Three days and two nights on the trail. We'll hike from the Little Coal Creek trailhead to the Byers Lake trailhead. Total distance about 30 miles. The trail climbs from the valley floor to above treeline, winds through spectacular rock formations and past alpine lakes and offers awesome views of Denali when the weather cooperates, the blueberries may slow us down some. Meet at the Little Coal creek trailhead at 9 am to shuttle vehicles. My suggestion is to drive down Friday evening and spend the night at either the Denali View North or Byer's Lake campgrounds. Call hike leader for details and car pooling info. |
