Toklat Ranger Station
During 2006 and possibly 2007, Toklat Ranger Station will feature interpretive displays and offer ranger-led programs, including an hour-long tundra hike at 13:00 daily. To make it here in time for the hike, reserve a shuttle bus leaving the WAC by 09:00. The station is functioning as a temporary visitor center until the overhaul and reopening of Eielson Visitor Center (Mile 66), on the far side of Thorofare Pass (3900ft).
Several day and overnight hikes are still possible from the Eielson area, including one around Mt Eielson and another to Muldrow Glacier.
