Eagle Hill PNT, relatively undisturbed despite surrounding oil and gas activities.

Eagle Hill PNT is an intriguing out of the way site that is challenging to visit and ‘kinda’ undisturbed. The adjacent properties are all private lands. The parcels to the south and east have extensive oil and gas activities. Access was via a gate that looks like it is normally locked. If so, the walk to the NA would be that much longer and further (and in retrospect, I was glad me and my vehicle were not locked in!).

Limited Time. This was a side trip while travelling between Calgary and Edmonton. Exploration was limited as traveling to the gate and then driving through the moonscape of resource extraction took a good portion of my allotted time. Some older ATV tracks were evident as well as a healthy ungulate population. Eagle Creek runs through the northwest corner but was not seen.
