On SUnday I did a hike up Kanchee and Knoya Peak from the Stuckagain Heights trailhead.  I’ve been up Knoya before, but never up Kanchee, which is lower and sits just northwest of Knoya.  Technically, I don’t think either of these are true peaks because they are both just bumps on a ridge line that descends from Tanaina Peak.  But no matter, they still make for a great hike.

I went up over the Dome, dropped down across the streams that eventually become Chester Creek, and then ascended Kanchee. From there, its a short climb to the top of Knoya. I came down the southwest ridge from Knoya to complete the loop back on the Dome. Then back down to the trailhead.

It was cloudy, windy and rainy when I set out, so I didn’t bother bringing a camera.  I soon wished I had because the tundra was alive, at the peak of fall colors.  I took some shots with my cell phone, which didn’t do it justice.  Here they are anyway.
