Fox Creek Revisit!

So, Fox Creek is a true back country Shangri-la on the Seward Peninsula. Its easy access from the road  gets you quickly behind the first guard of mountains through and relatively smooth tundra crossing. A quick traverse across some scree and I am am able to access the wild valleys of the Kigs. I love this valley, its open landscape and the daydreams it lends itself to. From it, I also have access to three other valleys, two ride lines, one saddle crossing, and excellent river/creek crossing. I spent this trip with three friends and two dogs, wandering around and finally napping in the middle of the tundra for an hour or so. Don't worry, this was not run free. I got in a two hundred meter glisade on the way out. Glisade on a 70 degree day, awesome!
