A Hidden National Park – Lake Clark

The only way to get to this park, is by a small plane. Port Allsworth serves as the hub. lake Clark Airlines out of Anchorage makes it fairly simple, not inexpensive, but straightforward. The park provides a remote setting with gorgeous vistas. The Ranger Station and Visitor Center are closed on Sundays.

That plane will fly you through the pass over the lake to the nice coffee shop. 😊
This view is worth the Journey
This parks resides in a volcano field with lots of little cinder cones.
The wild flowers in June are brilliant. The sun never sets.
There is a moderately challenging 7 mile round trip walk to the Tanalian Falls.
They gave us bear spray, but said hikers never encounter bears on this hike. That made me feel better.
There were other people wandering around in this Remote Park!

I wore my bear bell. But I silenced it around other people. I was a little embarrassed.
Just before the Falls. You camp here.
We had lunch. I was a little terrified that we would become lunch. I didn’t think it was a good idea to carry roast beef to a picnic site. 😀
Planes fly in and out taking passengers to other sites in Lake Clark.
Lake Clark Lodge can take care of all your needs
Oh, I almost forgot, they have a great coffee shop
National Park #56 we flew in and out in one day.
