    One of the most beautiful places on the planet.
    Lake Clark National Park & Preserve is one of the most pristine national parks you will find. We did a full day bear tour which involved taking a Cessna plane from Homer to the park (highly recommend Smokey Bay Air). Please note that the park is only accessible by boat or plane, so when I say you are truly remote from the world, you really are. This is not a highly traveled area simply due to how remote it is. This was definitely the most memorable part of our Alaskan adventure. You are truly removed from society and all the noise. The landscape is incredible and everything is just "big". It truly is one of the most incredible places I have traveled to.

    Hawaii of Alaska
    Took a tour through Rust's Air service that charted a float plane into the park and landed on Crescent Lake. The flight and the lake alone was worth it. But then ... 23 separate brown bears (cubs included in count) feeding on salmon. Then throw in the blue turquoise waters, the blue sky, and the mountains and you will think you are in the middle of a National Geographic series. And... the color array will make you think that you are hiking the Na Pali coast of Kauai. This is now in my top 5 of US National Parks, maybe even number 1. It is difficult to get to, and probably why it is so beautiful; less accessible = less people = more wildlife and natural beauty. I will definitely be coming back. Next time I will attempt to book at the Redoubt Lodge and stay longer.
