Meadow View Trail
What to Expect
Safety Advisory
Moose frequent this meadow and can be aggressive, especially cows with calves in spring and early summer. Give them at least 25 yards and never position yourself between a cow and her calf.
The narrow tread can be muddy and slick after rain — watch your footing, particularly where the trail transitions between tree cover and open meadow.

Pro Tips
Use this as a strategic link — combine it with Rock Creek and Roadside Trails to build a loop walk near the park entrance area without retracing your steps.
Early morning visits, especially in late June through mid-July, give you the best chance of spotting moose feeding in the meadow. They tend to move off once foot traffic picks up.
The meadow opening makes a surprisingly good wide-angle photography spot with the Alaska Range as a backdrop on clear days — position yourself at the midpoint of the trail where the treeline drops away.
