Granite Tors Rock Climbing

From Fairbanks take the Steese Expressway to Chena Hot Springs road and take the road to mile marker 39 and a camping ground area (parking fee $5) that marks the start to access Granite Tors trailhead. 

Cross the road and follow the south bank of the Chena river to a fork in the trail where you'll stay right. Hiking in this direction is commonly refereed to as counter clockwise for the loop trail. Leaving the river(last water source) you can gain a ridge that ascends a series of increasingly elevated hills to above tree line. From here the trail continues up and loops through the various Tors climbing sites. 

Approach time: 2-3 hours(4.5-6 miles depending on which Tor). If you take the trail at the fork that continues to follow the Chena approach time is 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
