EAGLE LAKE

Just home from a two night trip up the south fork of Eagle River. Backpacked in Friday afternoon about 6 miles to really nice campsite above the southshore of Eagle Lake. Very easy hike except for the boulder field crossing near the very end. Beautiful sunset Friday evening. Weather was very mild with little wind. Saturday morning we hiked about 1400 feet up to a point where we had awesome views of Eagle and Symphony Lakes. Saturday night we feasted on freeze dried chicken and mashed potatoes (or I did, Champ had kibble) before settling down for the night with a new biography of Daniel Boone. Hike out Sunday was nice and quick. Another fine example of the wondrous nature of Chugach State Park, my backyard.
