The nonprofit center teaches about this lovely natural spot, partly with indoor exhibits and programs but mostly with a set of nature trails at the head of the Eagle River Valley; it covers biology and geology and even goes to a beaver pond, with wildlife sightings common. A challenging, 25-mile backpacking trek—the Crow Pass Trail—begins here, too.
