Prince
William Sound is one of Alaska’s greatest treasures
with its awe-inspiring glaciers, abundant marine and terrestrial
wildlife, unique flora and fauna and over 2000 salmon streams.
For many people, including fishermen, photographers, back
country enthusiasts, kayakers, sightseers, birders, and whale
watchers it is truly paradise in the Alaskan Wilderness. (Click

Kenai
Fjords National Park derives its name from the long, glacier-carved
valleys that are now filled with ocean waters. A stunning
expanse of more than 600,000 acres, the park is home to an
overwhelming array of wildlife. Just as The Harriman Expedition
predicted in 1899 when they visited the fjords, this area
is both a national treasure and a scenic tourist attraction.
In order to protect the landscape and the wildlife, the area
was proclaimed a national monument in 1978, and then Kenai
Fjords National Park was established in 1980. (Click

Seward
is one of Alaska’s oldest and most scenic communities.
It is a very picturesque town, well known for many things,
including being the gateway to Kenai
Fjords National Park, but perhaps it is most renowned
for its dramatic location at the base of Mount Marathon (3,022
feet) and the head of Resurrection
Bay. Resurrection
Bay is a jewel in Alaska’s marine treasure chest,
rewarding visitors with stunning scenery, fantastic wildlife
viewing and excellent fishing opportunities. There are also
5 state marine parks, accessible only by boat, located along
the eastern side of Resurrection
Bay and around Cape Resurrection to Day Harbor. (Click
