Can one walk to Katmai?

Is this on the Kenai?

You can walk anywhere, if you have enough time. Katmai and Kenai are bad guesses I guess. 2000' elevation rules out the park and the river. He is probably teasin' us with an Alaska backcountry strip that we/I SHOULD know of. You gotta think strategically on guessing the spot when benito is involved. We need @Outdoor_Fool's help here.
 
I was confusing Katmai with Kodiak. I guessed the Kenai as a WAG cause he mentions his mom's greatgpa homesteaded there in one of his trip reports and that would maybe be a good destination.

Close to the Arctic?

Anaktuvak Pass on the John River - Gates of the Arctic

Winter road = permafrost = north
You're walking = probably a NP

Whoa, the zoom out is even more interesting. Great relief. And a cool, square Boundary.
 
The trail crosses this feature, right next to where I blacked out the name - the bad part is only about 20 feet long, but it's only 4 feet wide and 400 feet off both sides, though the whole bridge is about 200 feet. I've seen hikers cross it on their hands and knees, though most of you guys would probably think it was nothing. I made it across OK, but I have no idea how. Name the feature. Hint: note the lack of much relief on the tops of the "mesas." Another hint: Colorado.
