Tips for Visiting Kenai Fjords National Park:

1) if you can, DO THE HARDING ICEFIELD HIKE. It's hard, and challenging, and long, but I promise you won't regret it.
2) if you can't do the Harding Icefield Hike, do a boat tour in the Fjords themselves. You're almost guaranteed to see wildlife, and learn a lot about the fjord estuary ecosystem.

Kenai has quickly risen through the ranks as one of my favorite National Parks after my latest visit, and that's because of the Harding Icefield. It's seriously one of the most impressive and awe inspiring things I've ever seen

$A Brief History of Fire Towers Fire Towers are icons of America’s conservation history. Dating back as early as the 19th century, fire lookouts have been keeping watch over America’s public lands for generations now. And although new technologies have come and gone, many fire towers are still in use. And they still play a crucial role in fighting wildfires. This video is, in many ways, a love letter to these icons of the American wilderness. I trace the complete history of fire towers, from their 19th century roots to their modern-day mythical status. You’ll get to learn about the Osborne Firefinder, the quintessential fire detection device in use for over a century now as well. You’ll also find an excellent collection of US Forest Service historical photos, showcasing a wide variety of 20th century fire towers, locations, employees, and more. If you’re interested, I’d highly recommend checking out the full album, as only a fraction of them could fit in the video. It truly is a fascinating glimpse into the history of the US Forest Service: https://www.flickr.com/photos/usforestservice/albums/72157669003030369/page1 And if you want to learn more about how we fight wildfires on public lands, check out my video on that here: https://youtu.be/tazp_YrLyNo Enjoy!$
