I first visited Twin Lakes in September of 1992 on what would eventually be a very pivotal trip for me - a backpacking adventure that would help set the Alaska hook firmly in my upper lip!

Nearly 20 years later, I've spent dozens of amazing days at Twin Lakes and have explored more Lake Clark National Park than most.  The  photo above was taken in September of 2010 during a stretch of unparalleled early Autumn weather.  Looking past the connecting stream, beyond the upper lake, and east toward the Neacola Mountains it's easy to see why this part of Alaska captivated me enough to draw me permanently to the Great Land!

Twin Lakes really is Alaska at its finest!
