Seward/Kenai Peninsula
A loon announces the dawn. First light splashes on the mountainside. You crawl from your tent into the crisp air. It's as though you were a hundred miles from civilization but the highway is only three miles down the trail.

Whether you are an angler, hiker, hunter, skier, mountain biker or simply love to drive for pleasure, Alaska's Kenai Peninsula is a place of almost unlimited opportunities. Just 50 road miles southeast of Anchorage, the Chugach National Forest portion of "the Kenai" begins.

Saltwater bays, hanging glaciers, jagged ridges, and alpine meadows combine with wildlife viewing to make the Seward Highway Alaska's most popular route.
