    Chugach State Park

    We will visit either Williwaw Lakes or Symphony & Eagle Lakes. Both are truly majestic places to visit. We'll determine which location we visit based on weather and group ability the day of the hike.This adventure is approximately 8 to 10 miles in length with a challenging amount of elevation gain depending on the route we pick. Prepare to see gorgeous, alpine lakes filled with the bluish hue of crystal-clear snowmelt and glacial runoff. We will look for tracks while we hike and attempt to spot different wildlife. We may see moose, bear, Dall sheep, mountain goats, plus a variety of small mammals like arctic squirrels and marmots. There are plenty of birds to gaze at such as bald eagles, thrushes, chickadees, and jays. This tour provides endless possibilities for photography, a hearty challenge, and immense reward.Transportation included in total time of tour: (1 hour transportation & 7 hours hiking)
