Thunderbird Falls - Chugach State Park

3 Oct 2010 - Took our first exploration into Chugach State Park, our new backyard.  It is the third largest state park in the United States at a half-million acres.  This particular hike was a one-mile trail to the 200 foot Thunderbird Falls through a birch forest on steep hillside overhanging Eklutna Canyon.  GPS coordinates (trail head) - N61 26.953 W149 22.213
