Flying into this remote valley, you may look down upon the shimmering
waters of Iceberg Lake, or perhaps a massive sandy bowl dotted with
enormous icebergs. Your guide will explain the forces involved in this
amazing natural phenomenon which occurs in just a few areas of the
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.
|
The tundra covered steppes along the lake are great for trekking and
a wonderful view of the glacier – a true highlight of your hiking trip. In
Alaska, glaciers are not uncommon, but nowhere in the state are they
as prevalent as the Wrangell St. Elias National Park.
|
Strolling beneath glaciated peaks, hopping across
babbling brooks and stopping to smell the wildflowers
are
what Alaskan dreams are made of…
|
If the lake is drained, then we may explore the
bergs that now sit on the sandy lake bottom.
It’s like taking a hiking trip to another planet!
|
Grizzly bear can be see in the valley, although they are generally
not accustomed to humans and tend to run off quickly, so we’ll
keep a sharp lookout on the near horizon in hopes of
catching a good look through our binoculars.
|
An abundance of wildflowers coat the hillsides and even
sandy
dunes near the lake. In fall, picking wild blueberries is a treat!
|
The moderate terrain surrounding Iceberg Lake makes this one of the
best hiking trips in Alaska for adventurers of all ages and abilities.
|
Hiking is this great!
|
Babbling brooks water wildflower flare. Go ahead, say it fast…
|
High alpine lakes dot the surrounding ridglines – the overwhelming
beauty and sublime challenges offered by Iceberg Lake make a
great couples getaway or honeymoon destination!
|
Through the looking glass of 1,000 year old ice… exploring
the glaciers and icebergs give a glimpse of ages past.
|
The bush plane flights are a highlight to any true wilderness
hiking trip in Alaska – be sure to save a few pictures!
