14.Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska
Nestled on the Kenai Peninsula, the state’s smallest US park still features a beautiful combination of covers, glaciers, rugged headlands, and, of course, fjords. One of the highlights is the Harding Icefield, found along the Harding Icefield Trail. All you see from the top is a horizon of snow and ice.
This coastal park is home to black bears, coyotes, moose, and wolverines. You will also discover numerous marine birds that fish and nest here. Don’t miss the harbor seals, sea otters, and Steller sea lions either. Book a scenic flight, ski the winter ice fields, or rent a kayak and explore the hidden bays here.
13.Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska
This impressive park features beautiful glaciers, rivers, and snow-capped peaks. It’s the country’s largest national park. Indeed, if you combine this place with the neighboring parks, you have the largest international protected wilderness in the world.
The picture-taking pair hiked to Root Glacier during their visit and were in awe of this remote park’s frozen canyons, and blue ice, and pool. Feeling adventurous? Get a guide and go ice-climbing. Other veteran visitors suggest learning something about copper mining by taking the historic tour of the popular Kennecott Mines National Historic Landmark.
