Janine overlooking the Harding Icefield, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
We just got in from an overnight trip to the Harding Icefield via the Harding Icefield trail – I sure love that place on a beautiful day!
Much like a river flowing from a lake, here the ice is flowing from out of the icefield down to the left in what becomes Exit Glacier.
Cataract Cove, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
This in another photo from my time in Kenai Fjords National Park last week. Can you spot the mountain goat? It is amazing where these guys live! Below is a little closer photo which will give away the Mountain Goat’s location.

Ken Burns with producer Dayton Duncan filming in Aialik Bay, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
The famous filmmaker Ken Burns will be in Anchorage, Alaska this Thursday evening talking about and previewing clips from his newest film: The National Parks: America’s Best Idea. For more details, visit Alaska Geographic.
I was fortunate enough to spend 3 days with Ken and his crew in Kenai Fjords a few years ago while he was working on this film. I gotta say Ken was a fascinating individual. His creativity goes without saying, but he is a wonderful story teller with a hilarious sense of humor – we had lots of laughs on that trip. If you find yourself anywhere near Anchorage on Thursday, hearing Ken speak, and seeing some of his film clips should be highly worthwhile!
Northwestern Glacier, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
Yesterday I took a boat tour into Kenai Fjords National Park and visited the amazing Northwestern Fjord. It had been a few years since I had visited this part of the Park, and I was glad to see the ice hadn’t receded too much, nothing like what we have seen at Exit Glacier. For comparison, the above photo is the right hand portion of the glacier that you see in this 6 year old photo of Northwestern Glacier (by the way, Alaska Magazine did a really nice double page spreed with this photo in this months issue!).
I am so lucky to live next to such amazing country! The Travel Channel calls the coast of Kenai Fjords National Park one of the top 10 natural wonders of the world – for good reason!
Special thanks to Cathy Gonzalez with Log Dreamin’ Bed and Breakfast for helping with my arrangements!
Exit Glacier Road, Seward, Alaska.
This was taken at about 11:00 at night earlier this week. I think it is easy to see why I make the 10 plus mile drive from Seward to Exit Glacier frequently this time of year, it is a beautiful drive!
This is Mount Benson. This area is roughly spit in half by the Chugach National Forest and Kenai Fjords National Park, so I will put this in both categories.
