There are many routes you can take along the peninsula, leading you through sheltered hollows, over rocks and crags, past tranquil tarns. You'll find snow buntings and wrens, falcons and ravens, waterfowl and ptarmigan. In July the meadows are colorful with wildflowers; in August and September you can feast on crowberries and blueberries. The first snows in fall transform the landscape to something more dramatic and forbidding. It is an easy climb to the top of Oogenridge, but in spite of not being very high you'll find expansive and breathtaking views in every direction. You may not be able to resist continuing down to Lucky Point to explore the seldom visited beaches.
