Creamer's Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge

"Nature trails"

All our 4 kids and our nieces and nephews enjoyed exploring this large park and field with it's numerous walking trails and forest glades.  We visited on a clear and glorious day in Fairbanks where the sky and clouds looked like paintings on a big large screen because of their deep colors.  

We started our walk next to the dairy where we parked and entered the trail and headed north.   There we saw lots of sandhill cranes eating in the grasses.  Then the trail wandered into the boreal forest and the kids loved walking the elevated boardwalks through the trees.  About half a mile in, there was a look out tower where you could climb and see the forest and grassy plains beyond.  It was a great way to see into the tops of the spruce trees and to see their purple cones.

We looped back around and found our car again and I wished for many more days to visit this beautiful field, forest and trails.
