Kenai Fjords National Park questions
What is the best way to see Kenai Fjords?
Take a boat tour from Seward. The longer trips reach tidewater glaciers and have the best wildlife viewing.
Can you hike to the Harding Icefield?
Yes. The Harding Icefield Trail is about 8 miles round trip with a steep climb, usually snow-free from July.
Can I visit Kenai Fjords as a day trip from Anchorage?
Yes, by car or train, but it is a long day. Staying a night in Seward is more relaxed.
