Despite being only a one hour flight from Anchorage, the park is one of two least visited, and offers ample opportunity for solitude and exploration of uncharted terrain. Because of the ease of hiking on the high tundra, we chose to backpack on the western plateau for a week in the spring of 2001. We boarded a floatplane that dropped us on the shores of aptly name Lake Turquoise, and after exploring the adjacent towering valleys for a couple of days, moved to Twin Lakes where we had a rendez-vous with the floatplane.

On another trip in the autumn of 2016, we flew on a small airplane to Port Alsworth, a bush community on the shore of Lake Clark, and explored the network of trails nearby - the only maintained trails in the park.
