Thanks for the suggestion Arctic Beaver. I don't have PM capacity on Rokslide yet, but I'll follow-up later when I do (I just joined in order to start getting info for this hunt...) Your logic for the CCU is what I'm thinking, although I've also read that the crowds very much thin out after...
I drew one of the non-resident DC475 tags...stoked. TBD if I'll be able to actually make the hunt, but if I did it would likely be the last 4-5 days of the season, Sept. 15th-20th or so. I grew up in AK, but haven't been anywhere along the Denali Highway, at least not in the past 25-30 years...
