Eklutna Lakeside Trail

There is very little evidence of the recent Eklutna Lake fire at the parking lot. Toward the end of the lake a pretty strong burnt forest smell was pervasive. The massive avalanche a while back left a ton of dead trees at the end of the lake, and those burned. There were spotty burnt patches on the mountain and a surprising mix of dead and alive trees in the same area.
