Customer Reviews

Great Viewing
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.

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.

Kenai Peninsula Wildlife Viewing Trail Guide
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.
