While on our bear-viewing cruise on Crescent Lake in Lake Clark National Park, we circled the lake staying near the shore to see as many bears as possible. The weather forecast called for wind and rain, so staying near the shore also meant smoother sailing. Fortunately, the weather cooperated for most of the day and allowed us to see the Chigmit Mountains surrounding the lake as well as the bears. Other than Redoubt Volcano, also known as Mount Redoubt, none of the mountains visible from the lake have been officially named. Redoubt is an active volcano with its most recent eruption occurring in 2009 and lasting several months. We visited in early September 2022.
