Nothing much has changed since last month. Campgrounds, trails and refuge lands are open as they have been and visitors are flocking to road accessible Kenai. Visitors need to be extra responsible as there are no campground hosts and few seasonal staff. Bring correct change for camping fees and firewood from home. Offices and visitor centers are still closed with no timetable for reopening as the infection rate in Alaska is accelerating. Kenai Refuge has found a safe way to reach out to visitors in a parking lot,open-air, tent staffed Thursdays through Saturdays.
If you are traveling to Alaska, be sure to consult State of Alaska regulations which requires testing prior to flights or quarantine after. If you are thinking of visiting a refuge off the road system, be aware that many rural communities have their own restrictions on travel. Check with the State, the communities and the refuge you wish to visit for the latest information.
