As you steal a glimpse of Turquoise Lake from the windows of our floatplane for the first time, you will realize immediately how it received its name, and why we keep coming back to this extraordinary place. Guarded by 8000' peaks to the east, and endless tundra to the west, Turquoise Lake is nestled between Telaquana Lake and Twin Lakes, in the heart of Lake Clark National Park. We will take the next 5 days to explore this amazing watershed; paddling the turquoise waters, trekking to the edges of mighty glaciers, and scouring the hillsides for the many animals that call this place home.
