Rust’s Flying Service is pleased to introduce the Lake Clark National Park Brown Bear Viewing Tour (available August and September).
After a scenic flight from Anchorage, a knowledgeable guide takes visitors to where the bears fish for spawning salmon. Viewing from an open boat (capacity 6 persons) allows for excellent photo opportunities. During the midday break, guests enjoy a hot lunch at the lodge or a shoreside lunch. Kayaking at the lake, soaking in the hot tub, or relaxing in the lodge are also included options.
The logistics:
• 8:00 a.m. Leave Rust’s office at Lake Hood
• 9:30 a.m. arrive at Lake Clark Lodge
• Depart for bear viewing
• 1:30 p.m. (approximately) lunch break
• Afternoon, resume bear viewing or alternate activities
• 5:00 p.m. depart Crescent Lake
• 7:00 p.m. arrive at Lake Hood
• Times are approximate and will be confirmed at booking.
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.
