...a day at Trail River

The campground sign.

Hiking the campground loop. The snow was as hard and smooth as cement. No snowshoes required!

Trail side treats...Girl Scout Cookies!

We met some cross country skiers. There were several dogs with them. They didn't get in the photo.

A musher readies his gear for the trail.

For several years we have heard about how well the snow is groomed at the Trail River Campground near Moose Pass during the winter. So, this morning when we woke up and saw that it was going to be another spectacular day we decided to hit the road and see it for ourselves. They weren't kidding. The entire width and length of the campground road is perfectly groomed for use by nordic skiers, mushers, snowshoers, hikers, and bicyclists. Yes, bicyclists-we saw the tracks. The trail was as hard as cement and made for easy hiking. We didn't even need our snowshoes. Along the way we chatted with some skiers and pet all their friendly dogs. Then we had a vigorous snack break at one of the picnic tables in the campground loops and returned to our car. On the way home we stopped for buffalo burgers at Sunrise Inn in Cooper Landing. The perfect end to...a day at Trail River.
