Adventure Club members can attend this event as one of your free monthly adventures.
When: Saturday, August 30 at 8:30AM. We anticipate it will take our group about 5-6 hours to complete the hike.
Please arrive at the trailhead between 8:15AM and 8:30AM. We will begin our hike promptly at 8:30AM.
Where: We’ll meet at the South Fork Trailhead in Eagle River.
About the hike and what to expect: This out-and-back route near Eagle River offers a classic Southcentral Alaska adventure. Stretching 11 miles round trip, the trail winds through a dramatic glacial valley, with well-marked junctions guiding you toward two jewel-toned alpine lakes—Eagle and Symphony. Expect rocky terrain, sweeping views, and a few talus crossings that add just enough challenge to make the journey feel earned.
On clear days, don’t forget to look back near the bridge—you’ll catch some of the best valley views in the Chugach.
🥾 Mileage: Approximately 11 miles total
🥾 Elevation Gain: About 1,600 feet
🥾 Estimated Hiking Time: Plan for a full day hike
