Kenai Fjords National Park
Operating Hours & Seasons
 

Kenai Fjords National Park is open year-round; however, the road to Exit Glacier is closed to cars for the winter months and much of the spring.  The Park's coastal backcountry is also inaccessible late fall through early spring due to rough seas.
