Crow Pass, Alaksa

Hey guys! Went for a walk over Labor day weekend. 26 miles from Girdwood to Eagleriver Alaska. Saw a Marmot, 2 black bears, 6 glaciers and countless waterfalls. Here are some highlights.

Here is a map showing the start point and end point. the trail is not a straight line between the two, so even though its 14 miles on the map, on the ground you cover 24-26 if you start at the actual Iditarod trail head.
