Alaska weather can change dramatically. A sunny
and warm day in Anchorage
can turn windy, rainy, and cool in the National
Park. Please dress appropriately. This includes
layering your clothing, wearing comfortable
shoes, and bringing rain gear. The lodge is in a
remote area accessible only by plane so many of
the common comforts such as flush toilets and
running water are not available. Views of
pristine wilderness and the glacier at the end
of the lake compensate for leaving
“civilization” behind.
Enjoy a guided day tour with the opportunity to view Alaska's brown bears in their natural habitat. Fly 70 miles southwest of Anchorage to the entrance of Lake Clark Wilderness Preserve, site of Redoubt Bay Lodge and some incredible bear viewing. An experienced natural history guide will take you by boat through bear country. Look for bears as they fish for salmon, and don't forget to watch for other wildlife along the way. Guests receive a Redoubt Bay Field Guide that provides interesting facts about bears and a checklist of flora and fauna specific to this region. Relax and enjoy a homemade lunch on the lake or in the cozy lodge before your return to Anchorage.
