Mineral Creek Trail
An old mining road up Mineral Creek Valley, gravel and driveable for the first stretch before narrowing to trail past a washout at Horsetail Creek Falls, ending near an abandoned stamp mill. The City of Valdez calls the whole route easy despite the distance, which reads as generous for a 12 mile day; that discrepancy is the city's own label, not this record's. Weather anchor is Glennallen, 115 road miles away over Thompson Pass.
