ST. GEORGE, UT, UNITED STATES, October 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Travelers know Soldotna as one of the world’s premier salmon destinations — but there’s far more to explore beyond fishing. Moose Creek Lodge, owned by St. George, Utah entrepreneur Dustin Garr, is helping visitors discover glacier tours, bear viewing, wildlife encounters, and family-friendly recreation across the Kenai Peninsula.

Garr has spent years traveling to the area and fell in love with its outdoor energy. While fishing initially drew him north, what kept him coming back were the adventures well off the river and fishing docks.

“Fishing will always be a part of Soldotna’s identity,” said Garr. “But this place offers so much more — glaciers, bears, culture, trails, festivals, food, photography and scenery that stays with you forever. We want guests to experience the whole adventure.”
