The plan was to camp at Byers Lake and hike up to Kesugi Ridge the next day. It's a good thing we decided to walk around the lake on the Byers Lake Loop Trail when we arrived, because the next day fog hugged the ground and rain spit from the sky. We cancelled the ridge hike--since views of the Alaska Range and Mt. McKinley were our main goal for that hike--and drove back to Talkeetna for some sinfully delicious food at the Roadhouse.
