West of Seward, Alaska, Kenai Fjords National Park on the Kenai Peninsula comprises the Harding Icefield, its outflowing glaciers, and coastal fjords and islands. With nearly 40 glaciers flowing from the icefield, you might say it’s a place where the Ice Age lingers. Visitors primarily access the park by road to Exit Glacier and by water along its stunning coast. Perhaps you’d like to hike the Harding Icefield Trail, or kayak, or take a boat tour to seek out playful wildlife and calving glaciers along Kenai Fjords’ rugged coastline. Humpback whales feed on the bounty of the fjords in late spring through summer. Ranger-led programs are offered between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day.
