Starr Treks Monday 6/29/15 Anchorage
We drove back to Eagle River this morning, and took a couple of trails — walked about 4 1/2 miles with easy ups and downs. The weather was more partly sunny than partly cloudy, so it was pleasant hiking. It is part of Chugach National forest which is one big forest for sure. Part of the trail was on boardwalks, with viewing platforms. We saw a tame little squirrel on one platform who was munching on an orange peel that someone had left there (Hannah Keeler told me there were no animals that ate orange peels, so I always pack mine out!) We saw a lot of fireweed— a purple wild flower that comes out in late June. The white board said a bear was sighted on the Albert Loop trail that we took 2 days ago. So we jingled and clicked and talked as we hiked. We got to enjoy a picnic with a lovely view near the visitor center.
We stopped and replenished groceries. Tonight we’ll play bridge one more time. Tomorrow we head to the Kenai Pensinula.
