One Perfect Park Day | Kenai Fjords park conditions, map and recommendations

Kenai Fjords

At the edge of the Kenai Peninsula lies a land where the ice age lingers. Nearly 40 glaciers flow from the Harding Icefield, Kenai Fjords' crowning feature. Wildlife thrives in icy waters and lush forests along the fjords once carved by the vast expanse of ice. Today, shrinking glaciers bear witness to the effects of our changing climate. Operating-hours data available from NPS. Entrance-fee data available from NPS.
