Just off the Mize Loop trail near Pia-Margrethe’s Overlook is a
view worthy of an eagle, north across Cook Inlet and beyond to
Denali…
The cache is half a mile from the Kincaid Park Chalet (as the eagle
flies) or .7 miles if you know the most direct route. It’s less
than ten yards off the Mize Loop trail, nestled in the base of a
tree well past its prime. Replace the cache with care, as this is a
high traffic area within Kincaid Park.
The cache is hidden on the south side of the trail. In the summer
of 2004 a pair of eagles were successfully raised to maturity in a
nesting tree just a hundred yards north of this cache.
Unfortunately that nest was destroyed during a windstorm in the
winter of 2004-5. The eagles have relocated to another location
within Kincaid Park. Remember, it is a violation of federal law to
disturb nesting eagles, or to keep eagle feathers… take this
warning seriously! From the bench at Pia-Margrethe’s Overlook,
Denali is visible on clear days to the north, as are aircraft
landing from the west at the International Airport.
