ob, The road follows the river all the way to the glacier. I've only been up to about mile 20. I think you can only fish for kings up to mile 18 anyway. Mile 20 is about as brave as I wanted to get in our rental car(blazer). A four wheel drive is a definite must if its been raining at all. The road goes right along the river for most of the way. Easy walk or five minute hike right to the water. There are a couple of miles where you are a long way above the river. We didn't see too many other people up there, but the river was really high and there weren't to many holes to fish either. We did two days of exploring to find two descent holes. Just us and all the guides up that high. There are some nice camp sites along the road. You have to pay the Ahtna native corporation to drive on the road. But if the only fishable water is up high what are you gonna do?
