Unveiling the wonders of Alaska's wilderness, Susanne shares her experiences as managing one of America's most remote national parks: commuting via plane over awe-inspiring landscapes, experiencing hair-raising encounters with coastal brown bears and navigating the challenges and preparation involved in fieldwork within Lake Clark. She also shares how her passion for protecting public lands (inspired from a young age being a front row witness to the Alaska public land debates) has guided her career decisions and how growing up as a tribal citizen has helped influence how she approaches the management of Lake Clark's priceless resources.Lake Clark National Park & Preserve, located about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage, is a microcosm of Alaska. You get a little bit of everything. You have high peaks and glaciers, turquoise mountain lakes, coastal brown bears and you get to experience the blending of cultures.

In this episode, Jared and Analise begin their series on photographing brown bears along the coast of Alaska. Wildlife photographers the world over know about the legendary opportunities the combination of salmon and bears provide. From July through September, wildlife photographers willing to go the extra mile, willing to hop on bush planes and float planes and travel to the remote wilderness of this landscape are presented with what can be non-stop action photographing bears as they fish for salmon - the lifeblood of this ecosystem. This year in Lake Clark National Park, Jared and Annalise found themselves spending day after day with two sows with spring cubs. While they travel to this remote roadless national park each year for the salmon run, this year the tiny spring cubs stole the show. Key Takeaways Summer and fall provide different photographic opportunities in Alaska for bears. Anyone who is trying to plan a trip to Alaska for brown bears needs to understand the differences so they can capture the types of photographs they are looking for. When it comes to raising cubs in the wild, every bear has wildly different parenting styles that have an impact on how these bears behave around people, other bears, and most importantly, the survival rates of the cubs themselves. In this episode, Jared and Annalise discuss the psychological impacts that compositions have on those who see our photography. Simple tweaks to our angle of view dramatically change the look and feel of our photographs by creating the perception of three-dimensions in our wildlife photographs. Wildlife photographers can borrow strategies directly from portrait photographers and painters to dramatically enhance their images of wild animals. For those who are interested in learning more about composition, Jared is in the middle of publishing an on-going series on the Art of Composition which can be found on the PhotoWILD Magazine membership dashboard. In addition access to all of the back issues of the magazine, and our library of ebooks, subscribers also have exclusive access to articles series such as the Art of Composition and Zen and the Art of Finding Wildlife.

No state in the Union has more public space than Alaska; nearly 90% of the land is owned by the state or federal government, and amongst the vast, untamed lands are eight national parks. Lake Clark National Park, about 120 miles southwest of Anchorage, is one of the most remote. It’s also where one man spent three-plus decades living as one with the wilderness in a small log cabin he built himself on the shore of a magnificent mountain lake. In this episode we talk about our experience in the park and visiting Dick Proenneke’s cabin; the man who documented his wilderness experience and became an advocate for preserving Alaska’s pristine natural places. Some of the topics we discuss in this episode: Where Lake Clark National Park is located How to get to the park Where we stayed when we visited the park How we got to Twin Lakes, the site of Dick’s cabin What it was like to see the cabin in its restored condition Meeting the volunteer rangers who now care for Dick’s cabin Links to more information: One Man's Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey book on Amazon Alone in the Wilderness video on Amazon Click here to see photos from our visit to Lake Clark NP and Dick’s cabin NPS site about Dick Proenneke One Man’s Alaska documentary No Place Like Twin Lakes video Sign hanging in Dick’s cabin Where to learn more about our books and travels Join the conversation on Facebook - we want to hear from you!

Lewis Kemper Show Notes Lewis is an extremely well-known wildlife and nature photographer. He leads workshops around the world and lectures throughout the U.S. Two of his passions are photographing bears, especially the Alaskan coastal brown bears in Lake Clark National Park, and the wildlife and landscapes of the American River near his home in Sacramento, CA. His photos of the Lake Clark bears are amazing and in this podcast, he discusses his experiences photographing them as well as photographing bears in Denali and Pack Creek. In his experience, the photo opportunities at Lake Clark are superior to either of these locations. Below are some of his Lake Clark photos. Lewis has been working on his American River project for three years or more. A section of the river is very near his home and he spends many winter days in his kayak photographing otters, Great Blue Herons and other forms of wildlife in addition to wonderful sunsets. This project was written up recently in Outdoor Photographer at http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/on-location/featured-stories/find-your-own-wilderness/ and he has a Vimeo recording documenting the project as well as a DVD of it. View it or buy it at this URL. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/32711/121302094 A few photos from his American River project are shown below.

Chantelle Pence, Fred John Jr., Karen Evanoff and Floyd Guthrie, discuss the task of recovering our human nature, as a collective people. Indigenous perspectives are often not recognized or acknowledged in modern day life, yet, they provide guidance and pathways for walking as a true human being, which is everyone's birthright. Chantelle Pence is author of Homestead Girl: The View From Here, a patchwork quilt of poetic essays that covers the human condition, from the perspective of a woman who came of age in rural Alaska. The short prose pieces are stitched together with a thread of love for our ancestral heritage, and a prayer that the people of Alaska, and beyond, will pay attention to the earth based cultures that are rapidly changing. Guest speakers include Elder Fred John, Jr. was born in Susluta Alaska to the last traditional chief of Mentasta, Fred John, Sr. and Native rights advocate Katie John. Karen Evanoff is from Nondalton. She is a Cultural Anthropologist for Lake Clark National Park and editor of Dena'ina Ełnena, A Celebration: Voices of the Dena'ina (NPS). Floyd Guthrie is a leader in the Alaska Native community and the Alaska Native sobriety movement. He is a graduate of the University of Washington, a past appointee to the Governor’s Children’s Cabinet, and a Vietnam Veteran with over 30 years of therapeutic experience.
Are the National Parks truly accessible for all Americans? We think the National Parks mostly do an amazing job of creating welcoming, affordable places to travel, but occasionally they could do better. Today we're talking about what that exclusivity costs the parks. We'll be featuring Dry Tortugas National Park, off the coast of Florida, and Lake Clark National Park, in Alaska. These two parks are some of the hardest-to-reach, expensive parks we came across last year. Listen for more! And check out SwitchbackKids.com for blog posts, videos and ebooks with tips, info and visuals on each National Park. Or find us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter for much more! Adventure on!
