Description
Crisp Autumn day out on the Albert Loop Trail. This Wonderful Trail is found up Eagle River valley at the Nature Center. Always full of activity with easily found solitude along the trails.
.................
This is a 3-mile loop that begins at the Nature Center and reaches the bank of the Eagle River. The trail is groomed during the winter months for crosscountry skiing. Depending on the extent of beaver activity and rainfall, this trail may be muddy with standing water in places. However, the hike is well worth it, as the trail traverses rich habitats. This trail is regularly closed from August through October to allow bears to feed on salmon-rich creeks without creating potential bear-human conflicts.
.........
Chris grew up in Spokane Washington and has lived in Alaska for 20 years where her passion for hiking and photography collided. Each and every moment is an experience with God's creation that will never be repeated. She has captured the essence of those moments as well as the beauty, uniqueness, and the splendor of God's handiwork.
