The Chugach National Forest has a new, digital map highlighting winter recreation opportunities on Forest Service land across the Kenai Peninsula. The free map includes trails, recreation facilities and winter motorized access, along with basic winter and avalanche safety information.
The map is available through Avenza Maps, an offline mobile maps application (app) for iOS and Android smartphones. Simply scan the QR code with a mobile device to access the Kenai Peninsula Winter Recreation Map in Avenza. Visitors will be prompted to install the free app prior to downloading the map. The map is also offered as tiled, 8.5” by 11” PDFs for home printing.
Winter recreationists should plan their adventures considering the current conditions, weather forecast, terrain and geography, and equipment needs. Users traveling in potential avalanche terrain must be avalanche aware and are highly encouraged to attend avalanche training. Visit the Chugach National Forest Avalanche Information Center for resources and avalanche advisories.
