Trail reviews for Kenai Fjords National Park
I go to glacier NP a lot, more than yearly…I had a trip planned to Montana with friends a few years ago and with the smoke that year, we up and went to Alaska. Took the train down to Seward and locals told us about this hike…like it was nothing but a good hike. This was one of the most rewarding hikes I’ve ever done. There were bears off the trail but getting up to the ice field, it felt like game of thrones…north of the wall. Antartica. Will always be one of those special places you remember in your travels. Married with a kid now, I’d love to go back. Kenai fjords is very special. We had belugas following the train half the time. Went whale watching in Seward, just a very special place. Forget the bar, but the bucket of butt (halibut) was equally as memorable. This place is why I travel a lot.
