This old alignment of the Richardson Highway is accessible at mile 47 of the Richardson, just north of the Rendezvous Lodge and Stuart Creek. The old highway follows the Tiekel River for approximately 3 miles. The north end is covered with avalanche debris and is only accessible by foot. This is a nice area for an easy bike ride or for access to the Tiekel River.

Access the trail at milepost 47 on Richardson Highway (AK-4). Park on the west side at the old road grade.
