Kenai Fjords National Park

Kenai Fjords National Park is a dramatic glaciated landscape on the Kenai Peninsula in south-central Alaska, approximately 130 miles south of Anchorage. The park protects the Harding Icefield, one of the largest ice fields in the United States, which feeds at least 38 glaciers that have carved deeply indented fjords into the coastal mountains. The park's landscape is characterized by a narrow fringe of forested land between the mountains and the sea, where glacial valleys have been submerged below sea level, creating the fjord ecosystem that gives the park its name. Established in 1980 through the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, the park represents a unique blend of terrestrial and marine environments where ancient ice meets the Pacific coast. The park is notable for being one of the most accessible Alaska national parks, with Exit Glacier reachable by road, while the remainder of the park offers wilderness access via boat, airplane, and hiking trails.
