Kachemak Bay State Park is beautiful and incredible to hike in, but only if you stay on the 2-3 well-maintained trails. The Saddle Trial to Grewingk Glacier and the Halibut Cove Lagoon Trails are well maintained, but clearly curated for tourist appeal and access to paid cabins. Meanwhile, exceptional trails like Goat Rope, Alpine Ridge, and others have been neglected for years. They’re overgrown, poorly marked, and increasingly unsafe. If left untouched, many will soon be lost altogether. Alpine Ridge was only recently cut back due to community volunteers going in themselves. The park’s selective maintenance suggests a focus on optics over true stewardship. These lesser-traveled trails matter to the community and tourism. I'm not sure why the park decides to spent vast amount of resources on trails that are already 5-feet wide (saddle trail) when other trails are soon to be lost to vegetation.

Top experience if in the Homer area. We did the glacier view trail to teach the Grewingk glacier lake and returned to teh shore via the saddle trail. The lake is stunning with floating icebegs. The saddle trail was particularly beautiful with berries and wildflowers all around. It was a hike to remember. Beware of Bears in the area!

Great views from the Grace Ridge through hike. ~10 mi & 3400 ft of vert is majorly worth it if the weather is clear.
