Admission includedStanding at the edge of Kenai Fjords National Park, you hear the deep crack of calving ice before you see it. Massive walls of blue-white glacier meet the cold Pacific, and the air carries the salt of the Gulf of Alaska. Kenai Fjords National Park draws you into a landscape where ice age conditions persist today, shaping every rocky shoreline and fog-draped inlet.
