system. Click on the Alaska Ferry System to learn about the route between

Kodiak Island is the second largest island in the United States, after the
big island of Hawaii. Like the rest of Alaska, most of the island is owned
by the government and is designated parkland. Most of the island is
accessible only by foot, boat and airplane. It is prime brown bear habitat
and features the largest concentration of brown bear in the United States.
Kodiak features a very wet maritime climate, so be sure to bring your rain gear
and waterproof your hiking boots. But thanks to mild seasons and plenty of
moisture, Kodiak features the best wildflower meadows we have found anywhere in
Alaska.
