ケナイ半島地区周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

The hike to Russian River Falls on the Kenai Peninsula takes you through Alaska's impressive nature on a well-developed and mostly flat path. The approximately 2-mile trail starts at the Russian River Campground and runs through dense forests that offer you a view of the native flora and fauna. The hike is relatively easy, making it ideal for relaxed exploration. At the end of the trail, two observation platforms await you, perfectly placed to experience the impressive waterfalls up close. This place comes alive especially during salmon season in summer. Thousands of salmon fight their way upstream here, and with a little luck you can even watch bears fishing - a unique spectacle of nature that will stay with you for a long time. Other wildlife, such as eagles and the occasional fox, also take advantage of the abundance of fish and make the scenery even more impressive. The chance of seeing animals is particularly high early in the morning or towards the evening. The Russian River Falls Trail is more than just a hike; It gives you the feeling of diving deep into Alaska's wild nature and offers an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and adventurers.

You can see Juneau Creek Falls from either side of the creek, although which viewpoint is best can vary from year to year. You'll have to walk past the campground to find the best lookout spots on this side and, as with the other side of the creek, take care where you walk: Some parts of the bank are severely undercut and could crumble beneath your feet.

Estimates of this waterfall's height range from 60 to 100 feet (18 to 30 m). Either way, it's a thundering mist factory. It can take a little walking to find the best lookouts from above, and there is no safe way to get down to the base of the falls. Be careful where you put your feet on the high-up overlook trails, too; some parts of the upper bank are severely undercut and could crumble beneath your feet.

The lake not far from Soldotna is not very big with a length of 1.45km. But the calm he radiates is fabulous. Many rare birds can be seen on the observation deck. Very important: take binoculars.

Small peaceful lake in the forest near the headquarters of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge near Soldotna. To access this lake walk a .75 mile roundtrip along the Keen-Eye Nature trail which starts near the headquarters for the refuge. A monocular on the viewing platform gives a good view of waterfowl on the lake and other birds including eagles perched on the trees surrounding the lake.

For the friends of the red salmon, this spot is just right. From the middle of June approx. The first salmon meet here for spawning, also bears attracts this river magically.

We saw lots of salmon trying to jump up the falls in early September

Great spot to observe salmon, bears, and at least see seagulls fight over territory and leftovers from salmon fished by bears and men along the Russian River falls
