This is part of a one week trip to Alaska. We flew into Anchorage, rented a car and drove to Sheep Mountain Lodge (a great place to stay) so that we could take a guided hike with MICA Guides to the Ice Falls on Matanuska Glacier. We then drove down to the Kenai Peninsula, stopping at Exit Glacier in Kenai Fjords National Park, and then on to Soldotna. From there we were to fly the next morning on Natron Air to Silver Salmon Creek Lodge in Lake Clark National Park. Unfortunately, we got about three fourths there, and ran into a huge fog bank so had to turn back. Disappointed, but definitely agreed that the pilot made the right choice. We waited around their office until about 1 PM, but since the lodge reported no improvement, we were out of luck for the day. We had planned 3 nights in Lake Clark National Park, but were now reduced to 2 nights. Fortunately, weather was better the next morning. This gallery will just cover the Lake Clark portion of the trip. We stayed at Silver Salmon Creek Lodge, in the coastal area of Lake Clark National Park. The lodge specializes in two things, bear viewing and fishing. While we did not fish, from what I saw of others that did, they do a great job of both! The close up views of bears was fantastic!

Note: I have moved all of the images related to the huge bear fight we saw to its own "Bear Fight" gallery!
