Kenai Fjords

It is too hard to stay away from the beautiful parks of Alaska. The state is filled with so much amazement it is a dream to visit there and to explore.
Kenai Fjords national park is a 3 hour drive from Anchorage in a small, yet scenic town of Seward. Located on a giant ice field, this park has 38 glaciers and has some of the most scenic and beautiful views of all the United States. It is really what you want to do, you can do. Hike, scuba dive, swim, relax, fish or even dog mush!

Acadia National Park

Maine is a state where not many have traveled and not many live. It is a state where the frontier still lies and nature is still prevalent. Yes it has cities but not far from a river or the ocean. Maine is a beautiful state.

Acadia National park provides a great example to the definition of the state. With harbors around, whales deep in the ocean and countless amounts of nature related activities you can do, Acadia has a bit of everything. This park has a climbing school on real rock right next to the ocean, as well as hiking trails, kayaking and boat tours.
