November Moonwalk will be in Eagle River along a higher elevation, lightly traveled road with views of Eagle River Valley and Anchorage.
Meet at 7 PM at the Mile High Saddle Trail parking lot (directions below). Wear weather-appropriate gear (including headlamps or flashlights, masks) and bring some hot cocoa/tea/coffee for after-walk-distanced-parking-lot- fellowship. Friends are welcome—furry or otherwise!
Directions: From Eagle River, take Eagle River Road to about Mile 3. Turn left onto Stewart Drive (Hylen Crest Subdivision sign) across from P&M Gardens. Proceed up switchbacks on streets named Stewart-Mile Hi, Lower Canyon, Wilson Way, Upper Canyon, Sheppard, Lynx, Brownie, Barclay until you see a small turn off/parking area to the right, with a gate. There is a “No Parking Beyond This Point” sign, so this is the spot! We will walk the mostly uphill road beyond. Questions? Contact Ingrid Roelfs Home: 694-8144, cell: 382-3662, roelfs@gci.net
