From the back cover:  Superbly beautiful, the Kenai Peninsula is a microcosm of the best of Alaska.  Mountain peaks and blue glaciers, rushing rivers and aquamarine lakes, coastal islands and picturesque, seaside towns - yes, all these and more.  A mecca for world-class angling, peninsula streams hold record-breaking king salmon.  Its coastal inlets beg exploring by kayak, its mountains are threaded with historic trails.  Here, too, you'll find an abundance of wildlife, from moose to brown bears, Dall sheep to sea otters, raptors to seabirds.

Alaska's Kenai Peninsula captures the flavor of this special place in a perfect take-along volume, pocket-sized and priced right, filled with color photos and easy-to-read sidebars on natural and human history.

Author Andromeda Romano-Lax has also written the guidebooks Walking Southeast Alaska, Easy Hikes for the Inside Passage Traveler, and Sea Kayaking in Baja, which Canoe and Kayak magazine called "one of the best guidebooks we've seen for any area."  She lives in Anchorage with her husband and two children.
