Best known for its big bears, the island of Kodiak is the destination of choice for those with serious fishing and really wild wildlife spotting on the agenda.
Follow the Sterling Highway as it plays tag with the Kenai River, to the "End of the Road" in picturesque Homer. The Sterling affords drivers beautiful, natural scenery as well as unlimited recreational opportunities.

Points of Interest Along The Way
Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge (AK)
The refuge is headquartered in the Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor Center located in Homer, which is at the end of the Sterling Highway, approximately 225 miles south of Anchorage.
One of the most interesting ways to experience the refuge, if you have the time, is by traveling on the Alaska ferries from Homer to Kodiak or Unalaska during the summer. Refuge naturalists accompany the boats, presenting wildlife programs and helping passengers identify the birds and mammals seen along the way.
