Description
Seward, Alaska is absolutely breathtaking. It was founded in 1903, making it 12 years older than Anchorage and one of the oldest communities in Alaska.
It has approximately 4,000 year-round residents, with much more in the summer. More than 100 cruise ships visit Seward in a typical year. It is dramatically located at the foot of Mount Marathon and at the head of Resurrection Bay.
We chose to drive the 125 miles by highway from Anchorage to Seward. The drive along the Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet and through the Kenai Mountains is one of the most scenic in North America. The highway has been designated a National Forest Scenic Byway and it is just that, an amazing view in every direction.
David took this photo of an example of the recreation in Seward, Alaska. It is a port and fishing town. In Seward, we took a day cruise into the Kenai Fjords National Park. It was a highlight of our trip. On the cruise, we saw beautiful glaciers, humpback whales, sea lions, sea otters, puffins, and numerous other birds and marine animals.
