aniakchak national monument and preserve

The flight was spectacular but we didn't quite make it through the gates due to a low ceiling. Regardless, the flight was amazing overlooking the river leading out of the gates. We saw several beautiful waterfalls and landed on another lake outside the main caldera.

Be one of only a few dozen people who visit this National Park Service unit each year! It is true Wilderness!

Bears and Fishing abundant. The weather didn't cooperate, but despite the rain and mosquitos we had a wonderful time. The preserve is well layed out and the personnel make sure everyone is safe and that the animals are not traumatized by visitors.
