This morning Eagle River was completed socked-in, but it's not unusual for it to be foggy here in the morning and then burn off and get sunny. We decided to take our chances in Arctic Valley for a hike, but it was foggy there too...until we were almost at the trail head we broke out into the sun and it was crystal clear. They valley floor still had fog though, and the trail took us right down into it. We spent the day hiking in and out of the fog as it rolled in and out of the valley. When we got home to Eagle River, it was still socked-in. I don't think it ever cleared.
On a day like today, how can you not love this place?? We even heard coyotes howling while we were out hiking.
Of course, we still cannot believe how non-wintery it is. Plants are starting to bud out and that is never good in March in Alaska. As far as hiking goes, I think this is the spring that will drag on forever.
