Fly to Telaquana Route, Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, Alaska, USA
This ten-day, roughly 40-mile trek from Telaquana Lake to Upper Twin Lake is only for those willing to bushwhack. Sole access to the backcountry is via floatplane to Telaquana Lake, and then you’ll be route-finding with a compass and topo map. Pass glaciers, ford rivers, and navigate seemingly endless miles of remote forest and tundra until you reach Proenneke’s Cabin, a log structure built largely by hand in the sixties by Richard Proenneke.
