Getting Out and About on our Trails ~ Here in the Mat-Su Valley we have over 3,000 miles of trails for winter and summer recreation, and travel. Over the course of the next year we will be sharing some of our trail stories and insights, and invite you to share yours too!
Steve Charles, a Mat-Su Trails and Parks Foundation board member, and an active volunteer in Willow with the Willow Trail Committee shared this from a recent sunny day out on the trails in Willow.
“One habit of mine while traveling on the trails around Willow is observing recent history of trail use. Since the Willow Trail Committee manages the winter trails for multi-use, there is usually plenty of evidence to see. In the picture below from the Windsock Trail there are tracks from six different modes of travel. Can you identify them?” ~ S. Charles
