This was easily the best smelling place I’ve ever been.
Pretty much everywhere in Alaska smells like a Christmas tree farm, but that seemed especially true on our hike around the Chugach State Park. The trees keep everything fresh, so much so that it felt like every breath I take should count double.
The Eagle River Trail has to be the most beautiful hike I’ve done this year.
If you’re the kind of person who finds comfort in the humbling awareness of being one small person in a much bigger world with endless things to explore, learn, and question… this is the sort of place that feels just right.
