It was amazing to raft down the Kenai River. It is located in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge is one of over 500 units in the National Wildlife Refuge System, a 150-million acre network of lands and waters set aside to help conserve our nation’s fish and wildlife heritage. I know that you will agree that this Refuge is a very special place among special places.
We saw salmon, bald eagles, otters, sheep, and more in their natural environment. Alaska is a land of awe-inspiring beauty and fish and wildlife spectacles, and the Refuge is a microcosm of all this wonderful state has to offer.
I encourage you to take a few moments to reflect on the spirit of this wild place. It is the spirit of Alaska, it is endless, and it will inspire and enrich you.
