Kodiak

Camping with your family or on a solitary expedition can be a rewarding experience. The sound of kittiwakes or eagles will provide music and wildflowers will color your surroundings. It is important to know that Kodiak is a rain forest and your gear should be appropriate in the event of heavy rainfall and/or cool temperatures. A good tent with rain fly is a necessity unless you are camping in your truck or RV. Waterproof rain wear is essential. If you have come to Kodiak without proper rain gear, there are several outdoor clothing stores and sporting goods stores that can help you stay dry and warm.

There's no better way to come to know a place on the planet than to explore it by foot.  On Kodiak Island most trails wind through dense forests of Sitka spruce.  Each bend in the path brings a surprise either in the form of delicate ferns, bright wildlflowers or spectacular views of the rugged coastline.  Birding opportunities abound on all the trails in and around Kodiak, so be sure you take along your bird book and wildflower identification book.
