Product Description
The Kenai Peninsula Wildlife Viewing Trail features 65 carefully selected wildlife viewing sites that highlight the diversity of animals and habitats found on the Kenai Peninsula.
Visit all of the sites and you'll have explored Kenai Fjords National Park, the Chigach National Forest, many Alaska State Parks, the Kenai and Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuges, and several state refuges. Watch for wildlife from your car, on foot, by bike, with a canoe or kayak, and by state ferry or tour boat. And, return throughout the seasons to fully discover the bears, moose, whales, salmon, eagles, otters, loons, warblers, starfish, dragonflies, and other wildlife of the Kenai.
This guide provides details on how to get to each site, what to look for when you are there, and special tips to make the most of your visit. You'll also find information on wildlife species and habitats, seasonal wildlife activities, public lands, viewing, safety, and a checklist of the birds on the Kenai Peninsula.

 Kenai Peninsula Wildlife Viewing Trail Guide September 14, 2009
Karyn M. Delaney (Baden, PA)
This is an excellent little book for viewing wildlife on the Kenai Peninsula. This was our first trip to Alaska and we decided to rent an RV, travel to Seward and to Anchorage. Without this book, we would have missed some very interesting areas. It simplified our driving and gave us areas to view that were close to the highway when we did not have a lot of time, and areas in more remote locations when time was not a factor. We would have missed the boardwalk in Seward if we had not read about it in the book. And, that is where the Bald Eagles reside in close proximity. Also, the book breaks down the Peninsula into several areas, a must if you have not traveled here before. This book is highly recommended for any trip to the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska.
 The MilePost 2008 had much better information January 17, 2009

Being an independant traveler who wants to spend time with the animals, I thought this would be great based on the reviews. I was not impressed. I found better information in Mile Post.
Well-written guide to wildlife viewing on the Kenai Peninsula March 25, 2008

A reasonably priced, well-written, informative, easy to read guide. Contains directions, what you will see, hints and many other pieces of info related to wildlife viewing on Kenai Peninsula. I'd recommend it for anyone who will be traveling on the Kenai Peninsula, even if you aren't bird watching or looking for specific wildlife. Great format, great pictures. A definite best value for the money. Lots of info about places to stop, sites to see. Good info for a family or for adults.
A Perfect Guide for any Nature Enthusiast Visiting the Kenai Peninsula September 22, 2007
Bryan Newman (St Paul, MN)
I just got back from my annual trip to Alaska where I found a copy of this guide. It is a great resource at a great price. Anyone planning a wildlife, or nature hiking vacation to the Kenai should look at getting a copy.
I have found most of these places in the last 10 years of travel, but there were some that are now on my "must see next time" list. It's not comprehensive, but it gives more than enough options to productively fill any trip from three days to 6 weeks. Locations range from the Sea Life Center to full day hikes to driving routes. All habitats on the Peninsula are covered (and all Alaskan habitats except Arctic Tundra can be found on the Kenai.) So it can lead you to all Alaskan wildlife except for Musk Ox and Polar Bears.
Nicely laid out, good descriptions, insightful tips, well illustrated, good removeable fold out map provided. Only slightly bad thing, there is no index of target species versus locations, so you need to read through descriptions to find locations for specific species. All in all, a great value and resource for the visiting naturalist.
Great Viewing August 18, 2007

I had friends visit the Kenai Peninsula for two weeks in July. We used this guide to find 130 bird species and all the major mammals - marine and land. It is cheap, well done, and full of information. My friends took it home as a remainder of why they love Alaska.
