8/21 Reed Lakes Trail (Archangel Road aka Hatcher's Pass)
Berry picking attempt #2! Last week the berries were not ripe (Arctic Valley). The word out on the trails is berries are ripe up north. We will attempt to head up past Wasilla Tuesday to find berries there. Here are the directions:
Take the Glen Highway north from Anchorage, and follow the bend towards Wasilla. Shortly after the Palmer/Wasilla exchange, take the exit to Trunk Road, then head right. Stay on this road until it eventually 'T's onto Palmer Fishhook Road. Take a left, and head north into Hatchers Pass. Follow this route for about 14 miles until you find a turnoff onto a dirt road on the right, marked for Archangel Valley. Follow this route until just after passing Archangel Creek, and you should find a parking lot with a sign marked for the Reed Lakes trail.
I hope to see you there. 10:30 am at the trailhead - note that this is about a 1 hour drive to get there!
