Salmon Run Individual Races Registration Available

Blog, Uncategorized
Get ready to run this summer with the Salmon Run Series. For five Wednesday evenings beginning July 11th, race through various Tsalteshi Trails. Look to the right side of this website under "Events" to see more details. Sign up for all races for a price break, or pick and choose individual races according to your schedule. By participating in these races you're helping the community control Reed Canary Grass, an invasive species that grows in small salmon streams and harms the habitat, killing fish.  It could cause huge problems for our fishing and tourism industries, but with the money raised from Salmon Run Series, the Kenai Watershed Forum will be able to stop that from happening.  So by running you aren't only strengthening your body, you're helping the community.

Blazing Trails

Blog, Uncategorized
(Click on the title to see the map!) We have flagged a proposed snow shoe trail that goes from the K-Beach parking lot to Skyview at the top of the sledding hill (white line on map). It is flagged with blue survey tape and is still a rough draft. It's rough going right now because of alders, silverberry and devils club. Check it out! It can be walked in running shoes. We will be looking for snow shoe enthusiasts to help build this trail.

Blog, Uncategorized
Click on the title to read a great wrap up of Saturday's Learn to Ski Day for Kids with Special Needs. Peninsula Clarion article by Brian Smith. Huge thanks to everyone who participated. http://peninsulaclarion.com/news/2012-03-24/learners-permit Excerpt: Under the radiant spring sun, Roman and Ashleigh Herr found the snow at Tsalteshi Trails wasn’t yet slushy, but it wasn’t powdery like it was a few months ago, either. But nothing was stopping the two eager skiers from facing Angle Hill on Saturday preparing to race one another to the top. It was Ashleigh’s first time on skis, but not Roman’s. He had the advantage.
