500 Mile Alaska Trail Marked by Willow Trees
A 500 mile trail across the Thamna Lake district in Alaska is posted with willow posts that grow into trees along most of its length. Distances marked by native characters and English words point to camps and villages with Togiak and Nushagak nearby. The trail, built after the poll tax system, guides summer mail routes and a stage line. In winter dog sled teams rely on the silver willow branches to find the route for a swift end to the journey.
