On Sunday, Oct. 16, we drove out to Cooper Landing to find a trail we had heard about from multiple people.The weather was overcast with low hanging clouds. Because of this, the landscape wasn't the greatest to look at, but it was nice to get out and hike a new trail. To get there we took a type of back road. The road was one lane, composed of dirt and mud, with hills, bumps, puddles, and branches that were a bit too close. The road took us to the Bean Creek Trailhead. After hiking the Bean Creek Trail, it connected up to the Resurrection Trail. The Resurrection Trail is about 28 miles long. We hiked a very small portion of this. Just off the Resurrection Trail is Juneau Falls, our destination. There is no easy access to the falls themselves. To see the falls, we bushwhacked down a hill to a cave-like area. From here we were able to get a good view of the roaring waters. As for wildlife, we were startled by many grouse, watched chickadees flit from the trees, and heard ravens make an unusual noise I had never heard before.
