Waterfalls Alaska
Carved by Waterfalls
Update 8/18/2011 - The landmarks have been changed so the box is being checked. I will update with new clues soon.
Originally planted in Connecticut as a mystery until my trip to Alaska in July
Planted in Alaska on 7/9/06
Access: Mile 25, Glenn Highway, Thunderbird Exit, follow signs one mile to trailhead parking.
Distance: 1 mile or 1.6 kilometers one way to view of Thunderbird Falls.
Elevation Gain: 100 feet or 30 meters.
Difficulty: Easy - rolling terrain with boardwalk and viewing areas.
Special Features: Birch forest on steep hillside overhanging Eklutna Canyon. Views of 200 foot high Thunderbird Falls.
Winter: Often, the falls freeze, producing ice sculptures.

Follow the trail to the observation deck at the end of the trail and enjoy the view of the falls. On your way back, take the Creek Trail to the Eklutna River and the wooden fence near the base of the falls. From the end of the fence nearest the river, count 17 steps downstream along the embankment to a tree about 14 inches in diameter. Go to the back side of this tree and 2 feet from your left foot you will find Waterfalls Alaska.
