Homer is reached at the end of the highway driving down the Kenai Peninsula from Anchorage, a few hours away. This small city on Kachemak Bay is also home to a fleet of fishing boats that ply the rich waters for salmon and halibut among other fish.
A rare sunny day and Mt Denali, the highest peak in N America, reveals its 20,310 ft elevation. Take the Park bus to Mile 66, Eielson Visitor Center, for wildlife viewing along the way and hiking (carry bear spray.)
