Home to thousands of native wildlife species and magnificent landscapes, Kenai Fjords National Park is a must see.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-visiting-kenai-fjords-national-park-in-alaska\"><strong>Visiting Kenai Fjords National Park<\/strong> in Alaska<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CGdwQcNnwhh\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenai Fjords National Park in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/destinations\/north-and-central-america\/united-states\/alaska\">Alaska<\/a> is a uniquely wild place, famous for its abundant wildlife as well as the Kenai Mountains and the Harding Icefield.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park is also extremely accessible, being only a 2.5 hour drive south of Anchorage, and the town of Seward is the perfect base for sightseeing. But if you\u2019re unfamiliar with Kenai Fjords National Park and don\u2019t know where to begin with your trip, here are 9 things you have to see and do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BE INSPIRED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/where-to-go-what-to-do-in-alaska\/\">Where to go and what to do in Alaska<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-the-harding-icefield\"><strong>See the Harding Icefield<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CM72hGnBG2f\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The jewel of the park, the Harding Icefield is the largest in the United States, covering a massive 700 square miles and containing over 35 glaciers. The largest glacier, Bear Glacier, is a tidewater glacier and is a popular spot for kayakers. The serene blue waters and massive icebergs are a sight to behold, whether from the water itself or via aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-go-fishing\"><strong>Go fishing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenai Fjords National Park is home to some incredible fishing, with saltwater fishing possible right from the Seward shoreline or on a boat in the fjords. There are even freshwater options at some of the glacial lakes in the area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-attend-a-ranger-led-program\"><strong>Attend a Ranger-led program<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bzg1WLXAgGB\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Park Rangers at Kenai National Park regularly run <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/kefj\/planyourvisit\/ranger-programs.htm\">guided hikes and educational programs<\/a> about the wildlife and geology of the park and its many inhabitants and glaciers. Alaska is filled with untouched natural beauty and if you\u2019ve ever wanted to learn more about what makes Alaska special, the Kenai Fjords National Park Rangers are more than happy to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-take-a-boat-tour-of-the-fjords\"><strong>Take a boat tour of the fjords<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bc5IadLnwVa\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is probably the main attraction of the park and for a very good reason. Taking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/kefj\/planyourvisit\/boattours.htm\">a boat tour<\/a> out into the water to see the giant glaciers jutting out into the ocean is something you will remember forever. There is also sure to be plenty of wildlife around, as the waters around the Kenai Peninsula are filled with whales, seals, sea lions, bald eagles and other marine life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-take-a-scenic-flight\"><strong>Take a scenic flight<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To truly appreciate the beauty of the landscape, a scenic flight will give you a perspective you will never get from the ground. Whether by plane or helicopter, soaring over the evergreen forest and the Kenai Mountains will take your breath away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BE INSPIRED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/seven-photos-alaska-will-make-want-visit-now\/\">Seven Photos of Alaska That Will Make You Want to Visit Now<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-go-kayaking\"><strong>Go kayaking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BjFm6T-nmdM\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear Glacier is a popular spot for kayakers, but there are many more options if you want to get out on the water. The amazing views and tranquil waters are made even more magical because kayaking makes less noise than boats and you may be able to spot more wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-go-mountaineering\"><strong>Go mountaineering<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the more adventurous visitor to Kenai Peninsula, the Harding Icefield offers excellent mountaineering opportunities. April is the best time for access to the Icefield with minimal risks. However, all mountaineering adventurers should be well-versed and experienced in glacier travel and crevasse rescue. The best routes are from Tustemena Glacier to Exit Glacier, and from Chernof Glacier (via the Fox River) to Exit Glacier. Exit Glacier is, naturally, the ideal \u2018exit\u2019 since there is no need to rely on boat or plane access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-experience-the-wildlife\"><strong>Experience the wildlife<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BfL3FCpnKIv\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenai Fjords National Park is home to thousands of native wildlife species, including moose, timber wolves, porcupines, coyotes, and Canadian lynx. The wide variety of wildlife is a major draw for many visitors to the national park and there are many options to view Kenai\u2019s animals, whether from the hiking trail, the water, or the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kenai-s-black-bears\"><strong>Kenai\u2019s Black Bears<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BhbvdxmHtX6\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of all Kenai\u2019s wildlife, its black bears are probably its most famous inhabitants. If you\u2019ve been wondering where to see bears in Alaska, then Kenai Fjords National Park is a must-visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kenai black bear is a compact little guy, being the smallest bear species in America. Males can weigh in at a whopping 250 kilograms at the height of summer. Still, compared to other bear species, like the grizzly or brown bear, black bears are tiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let that fool you though, the best way to observe bears in Kenai Fjords National Park is from a distance on one of the many bear-viewing platforms and from the official hiking trails. Be sure to pack a pair of binoculars to maintain a safe distance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Black bears are not the only bears in Kenai Fjords National Park, however. Brown bears also make their home here, though black bears are far more common.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you want to hike, kayak, fly or simply observe the local wildlife, Kenai Fjords National Park has it all.
