10 hours 40 minutes of daylight

Low temps: 20s, high temps: 30s

Eagle River Nature Center has miles of trails, nature programs for adults and kids, and public use cabins for camping. Since we live only about 10 miles away it is one of our favorite spots for hikes (short or long) and quick get-aways. We just did a short hike (about a mile) and enjoyed the views and fall scenery. Unfortunately it was a bit overcast, which didn’t result in great pictures and also kept the temperatures quite low. Lots of indications of bear activity, but we didn’t see any bears. In the slides below I’ve included a picture of bear scat on the trail. This was a large pile (ie: large bear) that was full of berries.
