Eveline State Recreation Site (Homer)

Just 20 minutes out of Homer on the East End Road is the Eveline State Recreation Site. There are two relatively short loop trails on this 80 acre parcel and both have stunning flowers this time of the year. If you're in Homer and only have time for one hike I'd recommend this one. We've been out to this little gem of a hiking spot three times because of the flowers and the views across Kachemac Bay to the Kenai Range and its glaciers. The pictures tell the story, but you can sense Edmund loved Eveline very much.

Directions: Out of downtown Homer (not the Spit) on East End Road for 13.8 miles past the McNeil Canyon School, take the left onto Alpine meadow Drive and go .3 miles to the trailhead with good parking. There are usually trail maps and a flower guide at the trailhead bulletin board
