Natural Features and SceneryGranite Creek runs alongside camp, its glacier-fed current loud enough to hear from most sites. Mature spruce provides shade and spacing between spots. The Kenai Mountains rise above the forest canopy. Wildlife moves through regularly: moose browse at dawn, marmots whistle from rocks, and black bears, brown bears, and mountain goats appear often enough that bear lockers are standard equipment. Summer wildflowers include lupines, fireweed, and forget-me-nots.
