Today was our Saturday Valley Wanderers Hike. We started at the Eagle River Nature Center and hiked to Echo Bend, then along the river to The Perch for the amazing view of the river and the mountains. On the way back, we took the trail to the Dew Mound, making for a nice 9-mile loop hike. It was raining in Palmer when I left home, and also, most of the way to the trailhead. But once there, we had no more rain. It was quite cloudy and cool, but at times we even had a bit of sunshine. We were all pleasantly surprised at how nice the trip was compared to the unsettled weather we all found as we left our homes. It's very green and lush along the trail right now, and we didn't encounter any mud or snow. We started with 14 hikers, but 2 returned at Echo Bend, and Pam chose to avoid the section through Dew Mound. I quite enjoyed this fairly easy gentle hike, and Bella enjoyed romping along in front as usual.
