The skies and shores of Lake Clark...

...turn all kinds of beautiful in Autumn's setting sun.

The colors seem to magically and instantly change, as does the temperature once the sun sinks below the horizon. Come see and feel it for yourself. 

Autumn in Lake Clark, Alaska

Autumn is a fairly short season for Lake Clark - around 5 weeks.

The leaves start fading from their brilliant, rich green about the first week or two of September and they're usually pretty much gone by mid-October. The temperatures are wonderful, and the views are colorful as passing clouds dump white snow on yellow mountains and then slowly cover up the slopes...

 Then a warm jet stream will hover overhead and in a few hours the mountain is almost bare again.

Then quick as you can get a good nights rest it's covered right back up, plus a little extra.
The Lake Clark area has a lot of birch trees and their leaves turn a bright yellow that absolutely glows in the sun, especially towards evening when the warm light lingers and the shadows are long.

This is a spectacular time of year!

You might want to add a 'Port Alsworth Fall Visit' to your bucket list.

Team Mascot

One goal at LPA is the art of teamwork. If everyone works as a team we are able to build up our business in communication and positivity… but enough about logistics, and on to the fun part. 

If you have ever watched any type of sport you probably know all about Mascots. If you are a hermit and know nothing about sports or mascots, let me fill you in. They are the designated, ultimate supporters of their team. They usually wear outstanding outfits that draw the attention of the fans and can be seen doing all kinds of amazing feats to make sure the cheering never ends.

LPA may not be a sports team but we still have a mascot, and his name is Bones.

Every mascot needs an accomplice, and for Bones that is his best buddy (and cousin) Cub.

If you can't resist these two and their adorable smiles then come visit or fly with Lake and Pen as we are Unlocking Alaska!

ThankYou Drawing!

New Staff!

We're so happy to introduce our newest team member - Josh!

He lived in Port Alsworth three years before moving this August to the big city of Anchorage. He'll be working part-time at our Merrill Field office while he takes aviation classes at UAA and builds his flying hours. He's a pilot, yo!

As a Ramp Dude he'll be weighing and loading your freight, fueling and cleaning the planes, and possibly doing snow removal this winter - unless we have a repeat of last year. 

I know you'll enjoy getting to know Josh - he's a hard worker, has a great smile, plays the guitar and sings. And like most Alaskans, he loves exploring.

When Fall and Winter meet in Port Alsworth

The first morning you wake up to see your town's mountain tops dusted with snow is exhilarating!
Even if you know it's the start of 5 months of winter. It's just too beautiful to wish away.
It's been a little crazy around these parts:
Sept 21 - technically Summer.
Sept 22 - first day of Fall.
Sept 23 - Port Alsworth residents woke to their first sight of Winter...

This is the time of year for crisp mornings followed by warm afternoons. Who doesn't love that?!

News of snow capped mountains in September send people digging through their cupboards to make sure they have a healthy supply of hot chocolate. Then they usually head right out to soak up the views, get in one of the last kayak paddles of the year, hike Tanalian Mountain for a taste of freshly fallen snow, and take a few photos of the glowing yellow birch leaves before they all blow away. 

What a delightful time of year!
