20의 케나이 산맥가지 명소 & 주요 장소

낚시꾼들이 잡은 물고기를 육지로 끌어올려 손질하는 모습을 지켜보는 것은 매우 흥미롭습니다. 바로 옆에서 그 과정을 지켜보며 자연과 그 보물들에 하나가 된 듯한 기분을 느낄 수 있습니다. Seward는 저에게 멋진 추억으로 남아 있습니다. 항구에 몇 시간이고 앉아 활기찬 풍경을 바라볼 수 있습니다.

Spacious location far away from the hustle and bustle of Homer

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.

What a unique place. Hikes of varying difficulty levels allow everyone to enjoy a breathtaking view of the glacier. In a few years, however, you will have to climb a few more meters in altitude to still be able to see the glacier tongue.

The Harding Icefield is a huge field of ice and snow. And when I say huge, I mean that it goes beyond your imagination. This icefield "feeds" around 40 glaciers that "emerge" from it. The hike there is the icing on the cake of a trip to Alaska. It takes you over 15 kilometers (there and back) and 1000 meters in altitude through the most beautiful picture-book landscape. Magnificent views motivate you from the start to definitely walk the trail to the end. When you arrive at the Harding Icefield, you are simply overwhelmed by this place, which seems as if you are standing at the end of the world. Everything becomes quiet. Everything is perfect. You absolutely have to do it!!!

A boat tour from this harbor is a must when you are in Seward. There are two large providers (Major Marine Tours & Kenai Fjord Tours), which certainly do not differ in quality. In any case, we can definitely recommend booking the large 8.5-hour tour, where you travel in much smaller boats and have a very intense nature experience. There were not even 20 people on board and we saw a lot of wildlife. 🐳🐬🦭🐦‍⬛🦙 You could feel the crew's love for the sea every minute and learned an incredible amount about its creatures. To prevent any seasickness (the waves were sometimes really rough), there were various chewy candies at check-in or on board.

Absolutely unique landscape. You get very close to a glacier very quickly.

This trailhead is accessible only by water; the usual method is to hire a water taxi from Homer. The taxis do not run in loops like a bus or mass-transit ferry, so you do need to arrange (and pay for) transport in advance. Although you can reach several trails from here, the most popular by far is the hike to the shore of Grewingk Lake, with Grewingk Glacier on the other side. If you plan to do that hike, make sure your pick-up plans with the water taxi company are very explicit. Most hikers will ask to be dropped off at this trailhead (Glacier Spit) but picked up at another trailhead (Saddle Trail), as you can link the two trails together into a short, but beautiful, thru-hike.
