KENAI PENINSULA – Sterling Highway

The Sterling Highway begins at mile 37 of the Seward Highway (Seward is still considered Mile 0) and travels 142 miles to Homer at the southwest end of the Kenai Peninsula. It provides access to the towns of Cooper landing, Sterling, Soldotna, Kenai, Clam Gulch, Ninilchik and Anchor Point.

It was first opened in 1951 and was one of many roads surveyed by Hawley Sterling within Alaska. Some of the best fishing, camping, birding and hiking anywhere in the world can be found in the Kenai. The world record King Salmon, caught on a line, was from the Kenai River.

After taking you through the Chugach National forest and the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge the highway runs parallel to cook Inlet and offers breathtaking views, across the water from snow capped Mt.Illiama, Mt.Redoubt, and Mt.Augustine. All of which are active volcanoes. Mt.Augustine last erupted in 2006 creating spectacular ash plumes that reached 8 miles high.

Campgrounds are plentiful in the Kenai and when the fish are running, the places get very busy and it might be challenging to find a spot. The Russian river and Kenai confluence is specially busy when Red Salmon are running. With over 15,000 square miles of extraordinary adventure and excitement to choose from, people from all over the world come to what is known as “Alaska’s Palyground”…
