The Crow Pass trail leads from the Girdwood Valley to Eagle River. It’s a great backpacking route, and also a historic portion of the Iditarod Trail that led from Seward to mines in the Interior. What you might not know is that the trail was rebuilt in the 1970s with girl scout labor. We’ll learn about the Crow Pass trail in history and meet a former girl scout who helped remake the trail 40 years ago.
