Seward is the northern most ice free port in the
US, it's always been the 'Gateway to Alaska' & now is also known
as the 'Gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park', the
surrounding Marine Parks, Harding Ice Fields & Exit Glacier. |
Things to do around
Seward:
Fish (shore or charter), scenic boat rides, hike
the trails,
picnic on the beach & fly a kite, walk around a glacier,
horseback riding & bike trails, tour the hatchery at Moose Pass.
Late summer/fall time there are berries to be picked -
salmonberries, wild strawberries, raspberries, blueberries &
cranberries. Rhubarb has gone 'wild' here, grows like a
weed (a dandelion).
Always keep your eye out for wildlife, they're around & if
you're lucky they'll let you take their picture!
4th of July - this is the place to be.
A parade, Mt Marathon 'Iron Man' Race, food booths, raffles, fun races
for all ages, the whole town is 'hopping'. |

The
Salmon Weir is
just down the road (you passed it on your left coming here) and
helps contribute over a half-million Coho & sockeye salmon
in Cook
Inlet & Resurrection Bay for commercial & personal
use.
Trail Lakes Hatchery:
Up the road 15 miles, operates the weir, raises and releases the
fingerlings in the spring - tours available. More
information about the state-wide programs at
Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association
Exit Glacier:
South 3.5 miles, make a right on Exit Glacier Road and drive to
the end (8.5 miles). Bring a lunch - the river drive has
pull outs for picture taking or just enjoying the scenery.
Reminder: your in bear & moose country now. There's
also ice climbing offered by
Exit Glacier Guides. |
