Kenai Fjords National Park - placestogo (U.S. National Park Service)

Kenai Fjords can be divided into three main areas; Exit Glacier, the coastal fjords and the Harding Icefield. Each provides visitors with very different opportunities to experience and explore this place where mountains, ice and oceans meet.

The 'face' of Exit Glacier changes dramatically as the ice shifts and cracks.

Exit Glacier: Exit Glacier is the easiest part of the Park to access. Short trails to the Glacier's terminus, ranger programs and interpretive displays make it a popular day use area.

Ocean waves and other erosional forces carved the scenic Three Hole Point along Kenai Fjords coastline.

The Coast: Boat tours and kayaks are great ways to experience the park's backcountry coastline, tidewater glaciers and marine wildlife.

Hikers at the edge of the vast Harding Icefield

Nunataks, or isolated mountain peaks rising out of the Harding Icefield are islands on a vast sea of ice.

The Harding Icefield: This is the Park's dominant feature. It is somewhat harder to access, but a scenic overflight gives you a sense of its vast size and hikers can get great views from the Harding Icefield Trail.
