Description
This lovely scene was photographed while hiking the trails out of Eagle River, Alaska. It is the kind of area where one could see a grizzly bear wonder out of the forest to the edge of the lake. The bare trees and stumps are a testament to the extreme weather conditions that the area experiences.
Very convenient to Anchorage and one of the most accessible ways to get into the backcountry. The trail starts over a ridge then descends into the valley. At the end, after climbing over the a slew of rocks and boulders from a long ago slide, are two lakes situated on both sides of a lateral moraine; Eagle Lake, which is a green milky color and Symphony Lake, a rich blue aquamarine color. The contrast in color is amazing and is one of the coolest sites in the park.
