First Trip to the Park

Lake Contrashibuna
 
 
The lake has a large waterfall downstream that prevent the salmon and trout from migrating upstream to the lake so from what I understand the primary species are lake trout and artic char.  One local guide says it's the one place that he takes his guest to where they stop fishing, sit down and just take in the beauty of the clear lake surrounded by the mountain vistas.  
 
Views like this are pretty common hiking around the Park.  Supposedly in the spring and summer you can see Dall Sheep along the ridges, but it was hard to sport them in the snow. 
 
Mount Redoubt
This is one of two active volcanoes I have had the opportunity to fly by during my visit.  The last eruption was in 2009.  It had a major eruption in 1989 that ended up being the second most costly eruption in US history.
