It's summer time in Alaska, which means it's time to think about our furry friends. That's right, you need to be "Bear" aware when hiking on Alaska trails. See link below for more info on bear safety.

The Eagle River Nature Center
![Picture](/uploads/1/3/4/2/134277047/editor/better-front-entrance-to-ernc.jpg?1605645776)
ou’ll discover the beauty of the Eagle River Valley as you begin your drive along Eagle River Road. Residential areas will give way to breathtaking views of glacially-carved mountains. At Mile 12 you will reach the log cabin nature center – a threshold for connecting to the ever-changing landscape beyond. The Nature Center is operated by a small, grass roots non-profit organization. We hope you'll visit us and take some time to enjoy the trails and programs we offer.
