superb scenery, wildlife abounds- brown and black bears, dall sheep, moose (the babies are so cute), well delineated trails, not this trip but in past excellent back country camping- be sure to heed bear precautions

We only drove through this beautiful National Forest but the scenery was incredible, especially after a deep snow had fallen. It's relatively easy to get to and I'd love to come back and explore this area some more. I can see why Alaskans are proud of it.
