The Anchorage hiking group is hoping to ski at Archangel Road this weekend, so I decided to check it out and give them a report. I decided that skiing was not a good option by the time I reached the other side of the closed gate. Nothing has been groomed for skiing yet. Plus, the trail is very rough from dozens of people walking and chewing up the trail with deep footprints. I met a nice group of 3 ladies, in the area of my age group, also hiking up the road. They even found it difficult for walking. I'll admit that it was even a little rough for that. But not nearly as bad as it would have been on skis. Bella and I walked the 2.3 miles to the bridge then turned around making our hike a little over 4 miles. It was beautiful in bright sunshine and by the time we got back to the car it was actually starting to feel warm. I'll let the Anchorage folks know they'd be better off elsewhere. But the views were lovely.
