Far North Bicentennial Park
Sunday Jun 9 by TC
Two black bears (what appeared to be a large sow and one second year cub) crossed O'Malley at Homestead Trail Rd into Far North Bicentennial Park. They entered the park at the short link trail by the road culvert just east of the pedestrian bridge. They then followed the Abbott trail east towards the Hillside nordic trail parking lot.

McHugh Peak

Did McHugh Peak - accessed from Bear Valley. Scored one of the 5 legal parking spaces in the cul-de-sac - limited public access to Chugach State Park in South Anch. In the clouds most of the time, but a nice hike.

Lost and found on Willow CreekI was on the old guardrail trail down to willow creek and found a Stihl chainsaw cover. Someone had cleared a notch through the fallen spruce. I placed the cover on top of the old road gate at trail head.

Turnagain Arm Trail
Friday May 31 by devo
Did TAT with small group from Rainbow to McHugh. Lots of bear scat, some prints on trail. Signs posted about incident on Thursday w/ aggressive black bear. Boulders that came down from above and across the trail in the 30Nov earthquake - very impressive size, splintered trees, etc. ~Halfway between McHugh and Rainbow.
Portage Creek.
Friday May 31 by Greg V
Floated Portage Creek today. The level was high enough to start at the bridge and float easily through the boulder garden just below by staying river right. No sweepers or other major hazards. We took out near the road and did not float to the highway.

Girdwood Multi-Use Trails
Saturday May 25 by Bear
This is not a report of the Girdwood trails but of Glacier Creek. (@csmith - might be worth adding the creek as a location.)We tried to packraft it Saturday morning. Downstream of the hand tram about 150 yards there's a sweeper covering nearly all of the water from river right, with a doable sneak on the left about the width of a packraft. However, about 30 yards downstream of that, there's a sweeper from river left covering the entire creek, leaving no option but to get out river right and portage. Nobody in our party had been in a boat yet this season so we chose caution and went home. There was no obvious way to put in below the sweeper from the Crow Creek side; you might be able to cross the tram and hike downstream and put in somewhere. In any case, DON'T run the creek blind from the tram put-in. And note that scouting the sweepers is a pain - if you're at creek level, you have to climb a very steep slope with the help of a tied-off rope someone left there, or else you have to go back to the tram elevation and walk downstream until you can see the creek someplace.
Water level was also low on Saturday morning, to the point of narrowing the creek by about 50%. Might be better now with the gauge up a foot from Saturday morning.
