I have stayed at the Kenai Princess- last Sept.- it is a good distance from the main road and the Kenai river- you can see it - I would not count on taxi service- I saw one to two the entire 5 days I was there- and they were folks going to and from the airport- It is a very small resort- I think- 75 units at the max- but the service it great- staff is wonderful- "cabins" are cozy, clean, and comfotable- did not notice to many hiking trails- and lots of notices to watch for bears and etc- and they were not kidding- so I would not venture off if you are not experenced with true "wilderness". The resort will help you stay safe.

I have also stayed a the Alyeska Princess- in Sept.- a different year- they had thier ski tram runing and lots of hiking in that direction- again- not many taxi's- I would check with the resort- again you are in the wilderness-

Hope you enjoy your great trip- you will see wonderful country- rlb
