Meadow Creek Valley, is quite possibly my favorite destination within the front range of the Chugach Mtns. The ridge walking is ideal, peaks jet up from the valley floor 3000' and the views are anything but limited. Its easy access and limited popularity makes this area one of those undiscovered gems you want to keep secret.
I visited the area this past weekend. Going with the intention of touring up the valley and seeing if there was any possibility of a snowboard descent. Not unexpected, the snow was either non existent or rock solid. Scratching that idea I made an easy climb up toward a ridge to enjoy the views.

Redoubt and Illiamna are out; zoom in
and squint.
A good looking descent
On my way back down the ridge I ended up making a quick, exciting, blooper video of my descent down to Mile High Saddle. It went just as planned!
