10-Days Backpacking in Alaska's Lake Clark National Park
This summer, I offered the third-ever Bearfoot Theory group adventure where myself and and a group of Bearfoot Theory readers ventured into the Alaskan wilderness for 10 days of backpacking. Led by our guides from Alaska Alpine Adventures, we hiked across tundra, icy rivers, snowy passes, boulder fields, and high alpine mountains.

Diversity is Lake Clark's hallmark. Glaciers, volcanoes, alpine spires, wild rivers, turquoise lakes, far sweeping tundra, herds of caribou, great roving grizzlies. The Chignit Mountains are as rugged as mountains get.
National Park Lake Clark | Lake Clark National Park and Preserve an American national park Alaska
Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is an American national park in southwest Alaska, about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage.
The park was first proclaimed a national monument in 1978, then established as a national park and preserve in 1980 by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act.
The park includes many streams and lakes vital to the Bristol Bay salmon fishery, including its namesake Lake Clark.
A wide variety of recreational activities may be pursued in the park and preserve year-round.
The park protects rainforests along the coastline of Cook Inlet, alpine tundra, glaciers, glacial lakes, major salmon-bearing rivers, and two volcanoes, Mount Redoubt and Mount Iliamna.
Mount Redoubt is active, erupting in 1989 and 2009.
The wide variety of ecosystems in the park mean that virtually all major Alaskan animals, terrestrial and marine, may be seen in and around the park.
Salmon, particularly sockeye salmon, play a major role in the ecosystem and the local economy.
The Kvichak River is the world's most productive watershed for sockeye salmon.
Large populations of brown bears are attracted to feed on the spawning salmon in the Kijik River and at Silver Salmon Creek.
Bear watching is a common activity in the park
No roads lead to the park which can only be reached by boat or small aircraft, typically floatplanes.
The major settled area in the park and preserve is Port Alsworth on Lake Clark.
Five other settlements are within the park, populated mainly by Dena'ina natives.
Prior to the park's establishment, isolated cabins were scattered around the region, the most well-known belonging to Richard Proenneke, whose films documenting his solitary life at Twin Lakes were made into Alone in the Wilderness in 2003.
Lake Clark was proclaimed a national monument by President Jimmy Carter using the Antiquities Act on December 1, 1978.
Lake Clark's status was changed to national park and preserve in 1980 by Congress, and about two-thirds was designated wilderness.
While both sport and subsistence hunting are permitted in the national preserve lands, only subsistence hunting by local residents is permitted within the national park.
Lake Clark National Park and Preserve covers 4,030,015 acres at the base of the Alaska Peninsula in southcentral Alaska, about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage.
Of the total area, about 2,637,000 acres lie in the park and 1,400,000 acres in the preserve.
The park and associated national preserve extend from the Cook Inlet across the Chigmit Mountains and the Neacola Mountains, on the northern end of the Aleutian Range, and on into the Alaska interior.
Lake Clark is the largest lake in the park, on the southwest corner of the park.
The national preserve lands adjoin park lands on the west, offering both subsistence and sport hunting, in contrast to parklands, where only subsistence hunting by local residents is allowed.
The extreme southwest section of the preserve includes Alaskan Native corporation lands, which are not open to the public.
Most of the park section is designated as wilderness.
The eastern part of the park near the Cook Inlet includes two active volcanoes, Mount Redoubt and Mount Iliamna.
A third, Mount Spurr, is just outside the park to the east.
The chief river in the park is the Kvichak River.
Another large river, the Tlikakila River, runs across the park from its source at Summit Lake to Lake Clark, emerging from the lake and the park as the Newhalen River
The park is not accessible by roads.
Access is solely by air taxi or by boat along the Cook Inlet coast and Lake Clark.
Since much of the movement in the area is by air, the mountains present a significant barrier to air traffic.
Lake Clark Pass, at 1,050 feet provides a way through the mountains by air at low elevation, and is the main route between Anchorage and western Alaska
The main inhabited place in the park is Port Alsworth on Lake Clark, with a Park Service visitor center and a number of privately operated lodges.
Air taxis make regular trips between Port Alsworth and outside communities.

Alaska Part 8 - Sierra Club Adventure Trip
The 8th and final video chronicling my 2004 adventures in Alaska. Ten of us Sierra Club members met Nick and Sandy, the outing's leaders, in Fairbanks, and together enjoyed 14 days of outdoor adventures in south central Alaska. We camped nine nights and spent four nights in rustic cabins. Among our activities were two visits to Denali National Park, one to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, and a three day backpack in Denali State Park. Here's the video of our Alaska Autumn Sampler trip...

Brown Bear Finds Camera Lake Clark, AK
So, just finished up with a quick fishing trip at Lake Clark. Fortunate to catch a Dolly Varden and a Pink Salmon. On our way back, we saw a bear in the distance walking along the river. He was following along a defined bear trail. I had my GoPro along. Thought maybe we could get a video of a bear walking by. Quickly placed the camera at the trail head in hopes of that the bear would pass by. Lo and behold, never thought the video would turn out so fun. Expect having the salmon smell on my hands, after just releasing the fish, caused the bear's curiosity to the camera. Blue Skies.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
North Cascades National Park is an American national park in the state of Washington. At more than 500,000 acres (200,000 ha), North Cascades National Park is the largest of the three National Park Service units that comprise the North Cascades National Park Complex. North Cascades National Park consists of a northern and southern section, bisected by the Skagit River that flows through Ross Lake National Recreation Area. Lake Chelan National Recreation Area lies on the southern border of the south unit of the park. In addition to the two national recreation areas, other protected lands including several national forests and wilderness areas, as well as Canadian provincial parks in British Columbia, nearly surround the park. North Cascades National Park features the rugged mountain peaks of the North Cascades Range, the most expansive glacial system in the contiguous United States, the headwaters of numerous waterways, and vast forests with the highest degree of flora biodiversity of any American national park.
The region was first settled by Paleo-Indian Native Americans; by the time European American explorers arrived it was inhabited by Skagit tribes. By the early 19th century, the region was visited by fur trappers and several British and American companies vied for control over the fur trade. After the international boundary between Canada and the United States was set at the 49th parallel in 1846, explorers came to chart potential routes through the mountains for roads and railroads. Limited mining and logging occurred from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The first significant human impact in the region occurred in the 1920s, when several dams were built in the Skagit River valley to generate hydroelectric power. Environmentalists then campaigned to preserve the remaining wilderness, culminating on October 2, 1968, with the designation of North Cascades National Park.
Heavy snows and a high risk of avalanches due to the steep terrain, especially on the western slopes, severely limit visitation in the winter. Most access to the park is from State Route 20, which follows the Skagit River, though even this road is closed for months at a time in the winter. Most of the plant and animal species native to the park region are still found there, though climate change and pollutants from industrialized regions to the west pose risks to the environment. The park has one of the earliest and longest lasting research programs dedicated to studying climate change, primarily through examining the effects of glacial retreat.
North Cascades National Park is almost entirely protected as wilderness, and so the park has few structures, roads or other improvements. Visitors wishing to drive to a campground must do so in the adjacent national forests or national recreation areas. Camping inside the park requires hiking in by trail, horseback or boat, and camping is regulated by a permit system to ensure the wilderness is not over-exploited. Mountaineering is popular in the park and only unobtrusive clean climbing is allowed.
Nevada
Nevada is a state in the western, mountain west, and southwestern regions of the United States. Nevada is the 7th most extensive, the 35th most populous, and the 9th least densely populated of the 50 United States. Nearly three-quarters of Nevada's people live in Clark County, which contains the Las Vegas--Paradise metropolitan area where the state's three largest incorporated cities are located. Nevada's capital is Carson City. Nevada is officially known as the Silver State due to the importance of silver to its history and economy. It is also known as the Battle Born State, because it achieved statehood during the Civil War; Sagebrush State, for the native eponymous plant; and Sage hen State.
