Spring Road Opening

Each spring, the Denali road crew begins the monumental work of opening the 92-mile Park Road.

March 17, 2010 is the start of this year's "SRO," and the crew faces the usual challenges: spring blizzards, deep snow drifts and thick layers of aufeis. Follow their progress with regular reports and photos from the field.
