National Park Guide

Kenai Fjords Field Guide

A complete planning guide to Kenai Fjords National Park. Covers the drive to Exit Glacier — the only part of the park reachable by road — and the Harding Icefield Trail that climbs above it, booking a boat tour from Seward into Resurrection Bay and out to Aialik Bay or Northwestern Fjord to see tidewater glaciers calve, marine wildlife including humpback whales, orcas, Steller sea lions, sea otters, and harbor seals hauled out on ice, the Harding Icefield itself and how it feeds nearly 40 glaciers, Alutiiq (Sugpiaq) heritage and the 1964 Good Friday earthquake's lasting mark on this coastline, and the official NPS park map.
