Hiking
April Bowl is a shallow tundra basin that, in a typical year, contains three small lakes. It's also a great place to see ptarmigan (Alaska's state bird), and if you walk to the edges of the bowl you get some pretty views of the mountains around you. If you want to keep hiking, you can follow a rough trail up the ridgeline of Hatch Peak, which looms over the bowl.
