Kenai Fjords National Park

At the edge of the Kenai Peninsula lies a land where the ice age lingers. Nearly 40 glaciers flow from the Harding Icefield, Kenai Fjords’ crowning feature. Wildlife thrives in icy waters and lush forests around this vast expanse of ice. Native Alutiiq relied on these resources to nurture a life entwined with the sea.

    Strenuous hike up and down the glacier but the views and the guide assistance were magnificent! Emily took great care to ensure we made it up and down the trail and safely walked on the glacier.

  • It’s worth it!

    This was an amazing hike with even better views. I would rate 6 stars if I could. Jack, Dahlia, Emily, Rebecca, and Caroline were beyond professional. They made us feel safe and were amazing guides teaching us about the native plants and the national park along the way. They didn’t hesitate to answer all of our questions. This hike is a tough one even for average hikers. It’s long and up hill, will challenge you and keep you humble. Come with correct foot wear, and clothing. The gear will be provided beyond that. Highly recommend!

  • Hike of a lifetime

    Walking on a glacier to look into a crevasse is not for the faint of heart, but we are four very active 60-somethings and it was not too much for us. Make sure you have good lace up hiking boots, and likely also waterproof layers for top and bottom. Challenging all day hike up, up, up (and then down, down, down) with 95% of it on uneven ground. Guides Rebecca and Jack were fantastic. Glad we challenged ourselves and did it.
