Reflections Lake Hike & Vagabond Blues

Join our friendly Alaska Meetup group for a scenic, casual hike around Reflections Lake in Palmer, followed by a cozy lunch and drinks at Vagabond Blues! This 1.5-mile loop trail offers stunning views of the Chugach Mountains, serene lake reflections, and chances to spot local wildlife. Perfect for all skill levels, the hike is flat, family-friendly, and takes about 1 hour.
Details:

• When: Saturday, June 7, hike starts at 11:00 AM, expect to wrap up by 2:30 PM.
• Where: Meet at Reflections Lake trailhead (South Knik River Access Rd, Palmer). For Anchorage folks, we’re carpooling from the strip mall off Muldoon and Peck (near Sicily's Pizza) at 10:00 AM.
• What to Bring: Water, snacks, comfy shoes, layers for Alaska’s unpredictable weather, and optional binoculars for birdwatching.
• Post-Hike: We’ll head to Vagabond Blues (downtown Palmer) for hearty sandwiches, coffee, and craft drinks in a laid-back setting. Lunch is at your own expense; they offer vegetarian and gluten-free options.

Who’s Welcome: Everyone! Whether you’re new to hiking, a seasoned adventurer, or just here for the food and company, we’d love to have you. Pets are welcome on-leash.
