Superbly beautiful, the Kenai Peninsula is a microcosm of the best of Alaska. Mountain peaks and blue glaciers, rushing rivers and aquamarine lakes, coastal islands and picturesque seaside towns--yes, all these and more. A mecca for world-class angling, peninsula streams hold record-breaking king salmon. Its coastal inlets beg exploration by kayak, its mountains are threaded by historic trails. Here, too, you'll find an abundance of wildlife, from moose to brown bears, Dall sheep to sea otters, raptors to seabirds. Alaska's Kenai Peninsula captures the flavor of this special place in a perfect take-along volume, filled with color photos and easy-to-read sidebars on natural and human history.
