Below: Views of the lake at the bottom of the glacier and a small waterfall on the other side of the lake. According to state park rangers, this is the most visited site in the Copper River Basin, yet, the two RV Gypsies had the entire area to themselves, which they later realized was very dangerous and unsafe. Cell phones did not work here, so there was no way to call for help if needed.
