Visitors on the new spur trail at Exit Glacier
Kenai Fjords National Park has something for everyone. Whether you take a boat tour or kayak in a remote fjord, you will be surrounded by pristine scenery and abundant wildlife. A hike to the top of the Harding Icefield Trail or scenic overflight gives you a window to past ice ages. At Exit Glacier you can stroll the trails, take a ranger-led walk and get close enough to hear the creaks and groans of an active glacier as it slowly sculpts the landscape. Although much of the Park is rugged wilderness, there are ways to explore for all interests and abilities.

Hoary Marmot  

Did You Know?
The Hoary Marmot is the largest member of the ground squirrels. These guys hibernate half or more of their life away. They have very thick fur and a substantial fat layer that protects them from the cold. You are not as likely to see them on hot days as they hide in the shade to keep cool.
