This lake was never on the itinerary. We meant to hike through the traverse but did some off-trail hiking on the way up, wore ourselves out, and opted to basecamp at mint hut instead. So with our extra time we wandered up beyond Jewel lake and were rewarded with this gorgeous vista all to ourselves for hours. Sometimes a change in plans results in magic. #adventure

This is one of my favorite places to take kids, family, and friends when they come for a visit. It is a truly "Alaska" experience to be able to wander among and feed the Reindeer here. And the scenery on the way can't be beat! Landscape wise, Pioneer Peak is the star of the show on this trip along the Old Glenn Highway & Bodenburg Loop Road.

Day trip destinations from Fishhook

What a great landscape state Alaska is!

Buffalo Soapstone

One of Palmer, Alaska's best kept secrets, this waterfall is visible from the parking area... if you can find that. Driving along the Old Glenn Highway, you will turn onto the Knik River Road, next to the Knik River Bridge. Maybe a mile down the road, look for a handmade sign that says Pioneer Falls. It can be tricky to spot! The gravel parking area is the very next right. You can see the waterfall from there, and it's only a short walk in to get close up. Just watch out for the cow parsnip. The toxins in the plant can leave bare skin with awful blisters!
