Kenai Fjords- At the tip of the Kenai Peninsula lies a land where the ice age still lingers. In Kenai Fjords, glaciers, earthquakes, and ocean storms are the architects. Ice worms, bears and whales make their home in this land of constant change. Native Alutiiq used these resources to nurture a life entwined with the sea. Explore this site to discover Kenai Fjords, its history, science and remote splendor.
Seward and the Kenai Peninsula – Located in South-central Alaska and is one of the most active and exciting places to visit in Alaska. Situated at the head of Resurrection Bay on the Kenai Peninsula, Seward is one of Alaska’s oldest and most scenic communities. Known as the 'Gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park' Seward is a picturesque town located 126 miles south of Anchorage.

Seward is also a winter wonderland offering cross-country skiing and snow machine adventures. At 3,022 feet, towering Mt. Marathon provides a breathtaking backdrop for the town. Behind Mt. Marathon and extending down the coast lies the Harding Icefield, measuring 35 by 20 miles.
Anchorage- Anchorage is the gateway to Alaska and a unique destination located in one of the world's most spectacular settings. Embraced by six mountain ranges and warmed by a maritime climate, Anchorage is alive year round with adventure, recreation, seasonal festivities, sporting events and more. During summer the days seem endless. Dazzling displays of flowers adorn homes and storefronts, live music fills the air, Wild Salmon on Parade sculptures appear along city blocks while kings and silvers are caught right downtown in Ship Creek.
An urban metropolis surrounded by wilderness, Anchorage provides all the amenities and conveniences of a large city, but leaves behind the normal congestion and hectic pace of cities outside of Alaska.

A city which boasts an extensive beautification program, Anchorage is called "The City of Lights and Flowers."

Silverthrone at 13,220 feet.
Many glaciers originate on the slope of the Alaska range, Muldrow being one of the largest, reaches close to the park road and is visible from several locations.The Park is located about 240 miles north of Anchorage and 120 mile south of Fairbanks on the George Parks Highway. Denali tours can be divided into two regions.
