    Our campsite at the tors

    We went backpacking at the Granite Tors in early May of 2015. We found quite the spot to camp under a granite outcropping called the Flying Horseman Tor, it even had a view of the Alaska Range!

    Walking across the tussock-filled tundra, every once in a while we would kick up a flock of swallows. This was taken as we were walking back to our campsite after wandering around the ridge for a while. What a wonderful way to end a long day of hiking! The Granite Tors is a really awesome place; a 15 mile loop trail that is accessed from Chena Hot Springs Road.

    We cooked and ate one tor over so as not to attract bears and other wildlife to our campsite.
