| Volcanoes: The fire beneath the ice |
| The western shore of Cook Inlet offers one of the most dramatic and potentially lethal views from the Kenai Penin-sula. Some of the world's most active volcanoes face the penin-sula, just across the waters of the inlet.
|
| Kenai harbors historic beginnings |
| With more than 7,000 residents, the city of Kenai is the largest city on the Kenai Peninsula and offers many opportunities to appreciate wildlife, art and the area's far-reaching history.
|
| Where streets meet |
| The city of Soldotna straddles the Kenai River at the junction of the Kenai Spur Highway and the Sterling Highway, called the "Y."
|
| Small communities have big charm |
| From sportfishing centers to idyllic mountain retreats, the Kenai Peninsula offers a variety of small-town experiences away from its hub cities.
|
| Peninsula provides 'berry' good time |
| Food in Alaska doesn't necessarily come only from the grocery story. In late summer, Mother Nature dishes up a variety of wild berries perfect for making pies, jams, jellies or just for munching as you hike through the wilderness.
|
| Summer color: wonderful wildflowers |
| Winter is long in Alaska, but summer compensates with glorious exuberance. Wildflowers flood the landscape ‹ white so much of the year ‹ with color.
|
| Churches represent historic significance |
| Their onion-shaped domes are unmistakable as they rise above the surrounding linear architecture, and when visitors spy one of the Kenai Peninsula's Russian churches, they often find a short visit irresistible.
|
| Seward highlights life by the water |
| Killer whales leaping out of the water, porpoises playing in the wake of tour boats and sea otters munching on clams are among the teeming sea life visitors to Resurrection Bay in Seward may see.
