Forest Floor Critters

A forest isn’t just about the trees! The forest floor is home to countless tiny critters, many of which have made unique adaptations to survive in the forest around Cordova. Most any trail in and around Cordova and the Copper River Delta will have an abundance of these tiny inhabitants living in the forest litter and moss at your feet. The trail head starting at Skaters Cabin on Lake Eyak will take hikers through dense forest up to Crater Lake where explorers are likely to see many of these tiny organisms. You will have to get down on your hands and knees and peak under the moss and twigs though!
