Where is the Moose Creek Trailhead?
The Matanuska Borough trail guide general description of the Moose Creek Trailhead states; “Cross the highway, follow the creek side trail to the old railroad bed and trail.” We couldn’t find any marked trailhead, so we started by following the creek. At first it was easy but soon we became surrounded by multiple forks in the stream that were choked with uprooted trees. It looked like the remains of debris from a flash flood. We waded through water and climbed over fallen trees searching for some sign of human use. After awhile we decided to cross the creek bed using a perpendicular route, from the main water channel to the bluff, hoping we would cross the path somewhere along the way.
More tomorrow.
