Latest Eagle River hotel reviews
Ericasmurf99 Says: I love the Eagle River Nature Center!Start off at the log cabin visitor center (you'll need to pay a $5 parking fee in here). You can get little map print outs and see some of the educational displays. Then, onto the trails!There are 4 main trails; Rodak Trail, Albert Loop...
Haute Quarter Grill: Haute Quarter Grill
Ericasmurf99 Says: This place is a little pricey for me...but it seems to be quite popular with everyone. Chicken Ceaser Salad
Ericasmurf99 Says: This is pretty good and within walking distance of my house. I was surprised to not see Spaghetti Carbonara on the menu though...bummer. I just always get a gyro.
Garcias: Margaritas and Tight Butts
spintobecca Says: For young adults in Eagle River of legal drinking age, a nice time can be had out by stopping in at the (Super Americanized) Mexican Spot "Garcias". They have a cute raised bar and all the servers are young and energetic. Decor is dark and smoking is not allowed. Dress code...
spintobecca Says: Forget it! Take 10 minutes and drive into Anchorage.
There is no airport in Eagle River
spintobecca Says: There is no airport to Eagle River, the train does not stop in the town either. To go to Eagle River, you must either drive or take the city bus "People Mover" from Anchorage. The bus system can pick you up at the airport, for schedules and information please see...
This is a suburb of Anchorage....
spintobecca Says: This is a suburb of Anchorage. Many people live here and commute to Anchorage everyday, adds about an hour of driving each day to your life. There are no airports here, you have to drive 45 mins to the Anchorage Airport.Eagle River is bike friendly, the commercial district...
Botiques... and that's about it!
spintobecca Says: The shops in Eagle River are small.. there are some glass artisans and woodworking... ah perhaps I've seen some jewelers... Buy whatever you think you can suffer to live with or give as a gift. Prices are reasonable.
spintobecca Says: You can tell much about an Alaskan by how they drive when the first snow hits. A longtime Alaskan will slow down and alter their driving habits to accomodate the new icy conditions. People new the area will continue to drive as though the roads were optimal, and will end up...
hooters96 Says: People in this area love to follow to close so be careful.......
spintobecca Says: Everyone be safe on your drive to Eagle River, residents drive like they are all intoxicated and afflicted with a huge lead foot. Please drive in the slow lane, the middle and left are for people with high insurance rates. Also, there is only ONE road to Eagle River (Glynn...
spintobecca Says: NEVER NEVER buy "Alaskan Art" souvenirs from gas stations. You will only be purchasing mass produced items and taking your dollars away from the Alaskan artist's community. Most boutiques in Anchorage, and other cities in Alaska will always provide a certificate of...
spintobecca Says: As with winter, bring whatever you don't mind getting scuffed up! Clothing, it's going to be in the 70s, so bring shorts, light weight pants, miniskirts if you are going to Koots (Guys you can bring miniskirts too, but don't wear them to Koots). Footwear should be activity...
spintobecca Says: Bring whatever you feel like getting wet with snow. Duffel bags work wonders. Shoes: If you don't plan on "hiking" you can get away with tennis shoes. I wear open toed high heals all season, people shovel their walk ways! Gloves and something to cover your face (read:...
spintobecca Says: The Eagle River Nature Center offers a variety of fun, Alaskan activities. This place would be enjoyable for anyone, from the hardcore traveler, to the weekend warrior. It is the access point to 4 seperate trails, with maps available for hiking. If you enjoy rafting, this is...
spintobecca Says: People jump off the mountains in this picture (in the summer) with their brightly colored paragliding wings!
spintobecca Says: Eagle River has a Walmart, along with the usual fast food and gas stations. Small boutiques offer bits of daily life available to pack away and take home. You can go camping in town, a lovely campground situated on the river and there is a nature center with hiking trails.
spintobecca Says: Eagle River has many great parks open to summer time activities. Notice the long shadow in this picture? It was taken at almost 10:00 at night. The long Alaskan "midnight sun" makes anything possible!
