This is the best trail for nature viewing at Eagle River Nature Center, as it covers a lot more ground than the 3/4-mile Rodak Trail. On Albert Loop you'll walk through lush temperate forest, full of wildflowers all summer long and changing colors in the fall. Strolling beside crystal-clear streams, beaver-dammed ponds, and a milky glacial river, you might see salmon in the water, moose in the forest, or a bald eagle in the air. From meadow clearings and from the riverbanks, you'll look up at snowcapped peaks of the Chugach towering thousands of feet overhead.
