The first part of this tour takes you to the network of forested trails found at the Eagle River Nature Center, nestled deep along the north fork of the Chugach State Park's massive Eagle River. You may see the American Dipper swimming, or moose and small mammals like the snowshoe hare or red fox.Then, take a short ride to the Chugach State Park's best waterfall, Barbara Falls.
