"The Kenai Peninsula—known simply as 'the Kenai'—couldn't be more user-friendly. It's the abridged version of Alaska: just an hour's drive south of Anchorage, packed with postcard views, seemingly endless riffles of snow-dusted mountains, rivers that roil with spawning salmon, and an abundant supply of moose, bears, eagles, and puffins."
