The last time I was up Eaglecrest, the dogs and I were defend by thunder, which was unfortunate and cut our hike short. But this time we were back to normal SE AK weather! The clouds were high, and the road was dry. Just the way I like it!

Once you get up higher, there is still snow around. But the road is clear the whole way.

Just as you leave the top, this is the view you get.

At the lift, you are looking out over West Bowl. This is the ridge line that people hike.
