New recreation area by Healy!

Looks to me like just a flat lying area...it would require alot of work to make it park-worthy...more than just tree-clearing. Lots of cat work to move the earth around....probably some drainage modifications to keep it from swamping out....it looks like there's potential for alot of muskeg out there. We'd need some close-up pictures/ground-truth to figure out what exactly is out there as what we see from 5000feet up is alot different from what we encounter on the ground with our vehicles...but that area sees alot of glacier/runoff from the north side of the Alaska range so I expect alot of mud and gravel. I'd like to see any geological surveying that's happened out there.

Now, if they cut some trails to the south up onto that ridge overlooking the Denali park boundary, that may get interesting. I may have my badarse forest trail yet!
