There are so many beautiful lakes in Alaska, and we are lucky to have lots of trails to take advantage of some of the most incredible scenery in the world. We found one great hike that leads to the most crystal blue lake in Alaska, Carter Lake on the Kenai Peninsula!
It's a moderately difficult trail. There are many steep parts, and during early spring you may have to ford some small streams.
Once you get through the forest the trail opens up into an alpine valley. The views are stunning as the forest recedes!

If you're lucky, you'll also see some wildlife! Large group of dahl sheep, and plenty of brown bear and moose are seen often in the area.
