Eagle River Valley Private Half Day Tour

A very popular destination among local outdoor enthusiasts, the Eagle River area provides absolutely stunning views of the tall and jagged Chugach Mountains, complete with ice and snow fields, and a heavily forested valley teeming with fish and wildlife, and even presents the opportunity to find delicious berries in season. The Eagle River Nature Center is located at the end of the road, which is the hub for all area activity, and has visual interpretations available for visitors. The little clearwater stream meandering through the meadows within easy walking distance of the nature center has runs of spawning salmon in late summer and fall, which also draws the attention of both black and brown bear that may quite frequently be observed attempting to catch a fish. A fairly extensive trail system is present, with several tracts offering easy day hiking trips. This is a great destination for those wanting something close to Anchorage with the opportunity to see a wide range of Alaska-themed sights.
