Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula is one of the more accessible national parks in Alaska. Seward, Alaska is the main gateway town for the park. Many tour operators offer half-day or full day boat tours from Seward into Resurrection Bay to view the glaciers. Lucky travelers will also see wildlife from the boat tour.

By road, you can access the Exit Glacier area. There are trails at Exit Glacier, and you can get up close to a glacier. The road to Exit Glacier is paved, but in the winter it becomes a winter recreation trail.

At Exit Glacier, there is a one mile loop trail to Glacier View that passes by a beautiful creek. For those seeking a more adventurous hike, the Harding Icefield Trail is a 7.4 mile round trip that climbs up well above treeline. You will be able to see over the glacier during good weather conditions. The park rangers do lead guided hikes on Saturdays in July and August, if you would be more comfortable in a group.
