Eagle River Nature Center

Today we went to ER Nature Center to hike. We had beautiful weather and saw some awesome wildlife! Jadyn was eating berries all along the trail. We saw a park worker guy who thought they were poisonous baneberries! I was pretty sure they were low bush cranberries, but he wanted to be sure. He tookthe 4 wheeler back to the center and before we got there he had already called several places to find out what to do and identified the plants. LOL, turns out they were just cranberries! But it was nice that they were so concerned!



Jared and Luke walked right up to this moose and never saw it till I pointed it out! Good thing she didn't have a baby! She was only about 20 yards from the side of the path! She didnt seem to care that we were there. She just kept eating and then walked off after a few minutes.






Hornets Nests right off the trail! Watch out!


Jadyn wanted me to take her picture on EVERY rock!


There was a cute little cabin about 2 miles down the trail. It was so neat! It is right on the water and has a nice outhouse, wood and fire pit, and a stove to keep warm and cook food! The kids want to go back and camp there, I was thinking it would be cool for me and Jerome to do BY OURSELVES!!!
