This is a really nice place to camp, fish, hike, etc. The road follows the Chatanika River and if you watch through the trees you may see people canoeing or kayaking. There is another camp ground about 60 miles out, the Cripple Creek State campground, and at about 80 miles is the Montana Creek Station, State campground. Keep in mind, you have to take your own water, there isn't any drinking water available at these campsites. There is a natural springs with a pipe outflow at a road turnout at about 80 miles out where you can fill your water bottles.
Water is very cold and wonderful.
At about 82 miles out, the road starts climbing uphill again. You drive up to a peak called Twelve Mile summit. There will probably be snow on the peaks surrounding you, and might even be snow on the summit. Twelve Mile Summit is above the tree line so the scenery has changed quite a bit since leaving Fairbanks. Down in the valleys at about 99 miles from Fairbanks you will see active mining operations off the right side.
