Chugach State Park is one of the largest state parks in Alaska, and it’s only about 40 minutes from downtown Anchorage. We took a short walk along the Iditarod Trail in Eagle River Valley inside the park and came upon this glorious view. We even saw a moose grazing not more than 15 yards away! All in all, we were very lucky with seeing lots of wildlife on this trip: moose, a black bear, and lots of dolphins and whales.
