Thunderbird Falls

A nice little hike to Thunderbird Falls, and camping at the Eagle River Campground with Scott and Jilene.

Thunderbird Falls was an easy one mile hike, one way, to an overlook of the falls. We couldn't see as much of the falls as I thought we would, but it was really nice nonetheless. We took a bunch of pictures at the overlook, as well as down at the river where they emptied out (couldn't really see the falls much from there, though).

We took this hike as an opportunity to teach Jilene about Devil's Club. A prickly sonavagun that grows up to 6ft tall and is abundant across Southcentral Alaska. You'll see a picture of Scott pretending to hug the bush in the slideshow...

We're trying to get outdoors with Jilene as much as possible this summer so that we can show her the world out there. There is so much to see and experience!! We're looking forward to a hike to Byron Glacier here soon, too.
