Thrive Outside

Campbell Creek Estuary Park directions Nestled in a quaint little subdivision in South Anchorage, I found this place of peace.  I have visited it in all the seasons and you cannot miss the beauty of this place. There is a woodland hike that takes you to a fun bird hide.  Great bird hide with elbow rests for the binoculars.   Only in the winter is it safe to walk on the mud flats.  Hannah got to venture down to the flats and enjoy the trails.  As you can see, nordic skiing is fun as well. I have heard about crust biking for fat bikes, but have not tried that.   It is a small trail, but today we enjoyed the bench in the balmy hot sun. We saw our new visitors, Sand Hill Cranes, fly into the estuary as well.   Please NO DOGS or other domesticated animals & NO BIKES.  This trail as of 4/28/2020 is DRY enjoy (the photos were taken on Easter-the trail is dry as of today.)

The blog has been a bit neglected.  There is no reason except, I moved to a new town.  Life was a bit of a transition.  I did find my way to a plethora of new to me hikes and adventures.  I guess, I just didn't take the time to organize them until now.  Since the onsite of the dreaded "virus",  I found a few things: Unemployed (our Alaska Airlines Lounge closed on March 29) so more "free" time Hunker down- but with the option in Alaska to enjoy trails safely with others Very outdated website (sorry) But, as I was taking my good friend on one of my treasures trails in Anchorage, Alaska today, I remembered how I have been able to find "new to me" places.  I used the same tool when I went visiting my friend in Mesa, AZ.  It is simple and somehow people overlook a simple tool. I google map it. On the left hand side, select the bicycling tab.  Then right below the map pops up a trail guide that puts the trails and bicycling route right on you
