5:14 PM LOCAL TIMEKenai Fjords is a coastal wilderness park at the southern end of the Seward Peninsula, south of Anchorage and near the city of Seward. It’s built around the Harding Icefield, which feeds a sprawling network of glaciers — notably Twelve Mile and Aialik — that calve directly into nearshore waters. Expect cold waters, mountain vistas, and frequent *sea animal* sightings, from whales and sea otters to steller sea lions*. Trails such as the Exit Glacier Moraine Trail and onboard boat tours provide access to ice-viewing and wildlife; for a true backcountry experience, seek guided lake and glacier hikes. The park’s marine zone supports rich fisheries and is best explored by kayak or boat — always from a reputable operator and with proper safety prep.
