June 2-Day 17 Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park

Today is the big day for our tour of the Kenai Fjords and Glaciers.  It's billed as a glacier tour, but it is much more.  It really is a wildlife tour too.  The Kenai Fjords National Park is to marine mammals and birds what Denali is to land mammals.   It is The indescribable.  There is nothing like it in the lower 48 states.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.  It was an 8 1/2 hour boat trip thru the national park.  We saw glaciers calving, birds, seals, sea lions, sea otters, Dall porpoise and lots and lots of whales.  It ended with a stop at Fox Island for salmon and prime rib.  This is another must do on any trip to Alaska.  Like Denali, this stop was a highlight of the trip.
