Yeah, we have some Swiss Alp-ish mountains in our neck of the woods.
And they are quite stunning on a sunny day.

Customer Service at Lake and Pen Air
We love Nick & Emma Alexi! They live in the tiny and very remote Lime Village. Always have, always will.
They choose to fly with Dave at Lake and Pen Air because he takes excellent care of them. He's always thinking about what his passengers need, and makes sure to have a step stool on board for 4'8" Emma.
Lake and Pen Air is known for their excellent customer service. Come experience it for yourself!

Wintery Port Alsworth
Port Alsworth is under a beautiful blanket of new snow. Locals are having a blast playing ice hockey and ice fishing on the frozen bay, and most of them are waiting patiently for a good freeze on Lake Clark so they can get busy building igloos, go cross-country skiing, and ride their snow machines.
Winter is wonderful in Bush Alaska!

Alaska Adventure: Pile Bay & Williams Port
This is the tiny village of Pile Bay. It had 30 people at it's largest and it's where Jacque (Vantrease) Wilder, LPA's founder, grew up. Her parents homesteaded here before Alaska was one of the 50 states!
Pile Bay was settled in the early 1940's for the specific reason of transporting commercial fishing boats over "the road" between Iliamna Bay on Cook Inlet and Williams Port on Lake Iliamna.
Once the boats are in Lake Iliamna they head to the west end of the lake and down
the Kvijak (Qwe-Jack) River to Bristol Bay where the world's largest wild salmon fishery draws thousands of fishermen each summer.
Once the boats are in Lake Iliamna they head to the west end of the lake and down
the Kvijak (Qwe-Jack) River to Bristol Bay where the world's largest wild salmon fishery draws thousands of fishermen each summer.
The 13 mile drive over the gravel road is filled with rivers, flowers and mountains galore. So beautiful!
Iliamna Bay is where fishermen wait for the tide to rise enough to get their boats into the pull-out bay...
Today there were several boats waiting for Ray Williams and his family to pull them out of the water.
Up to 5 boats a day can be transported over the road to Lake Iliamna.
Transporting the large fishing boats through the mountain pass, along the cliff edges and around the switchbacks is very slow and dangerous work...
Plus, there's several metal bridges just inches wider than the boats requireing incredible driver accuracy.
Picnics, ptarmigan hunting, fishing, and bear sighings are all pretty much daily summer opportunities.
What a place to spend the day!
