More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push through a narrow pine opening and the forest gives way to a glassy lake that seems to hold the sky. The sun hangs low and motionless above the treeline — daylight that refuses to end — while you float in a buoyant rescue suit, the cold water held at a safe distance and only the helmeted face exposed to the open air.
