Planning Your Trip The trip is half the ad venture When Alaska Starts Here.

Alaska Railroad

®

Alaska is a vast state, and planning your trip can be overwhelming.

We’re here to help and invite you to dive right in!

1 Determine how you would like to experience Seward: If you prefer flexibility, you might want to consider flying into Anchorage and renting a car or RV for your trip. Would you enjoy an all-inclusive overvie w of the state? Then resear ch your travel options, and be sure to add on a pre- or pos tcruise tour in Seward. Want to relax after your flight nor th?

Ride the rails to Seward on the Alaska Railroad and ren ta car in Seward or use our loca l taxis to get around. Bus service is also available bet ween Anchorage and Seward .

2 Finalize how much time you have for your visit: Don’t forg et to factor in your travel time to and from home, as that will take away from your actual days in Seward.

3 Narrow down the areas you ’d like to see: For the best experience, select a genera l region, such as the Kenai Peninsula, and concentrate your time there. Visitors frequently misjudge distanc es in Alaska, and eight to ten hours of traveling every cou ple days can become very tiring.

Many of Alaska’s highways are only two lanes, with limi ted passing capability. Speed limits are also lower than you are probably used to. Don’t forg et that many communities can only be reached by air or ferr y, and those schedules can be difficult to plan into a vacatio n. You can start your Alaska vacation in Seward and enjo y all Alaska has to offer righ t here on the Peninsula!

4 Choose activities that app eal to everyone in your gro up: Seward offers something for everyone; hiking, fishing, bird ing flight-seeing, sailing, and kay aking are just a few of our outdoor adventures and opt ions are available for all age s and abilities. Don’t pack in too much, as you’ll want time to wind down in our wonderful rest aurants and wander our sho ps and art galleries.

5 Be sure to visit the Kenai Fjords National Park: Wheth er you explore the Park by wat er on one of Seward’s sightseeing cruises or take an easy walk to Exit Glacier , the Park will definitely be one of your Alaska highlights.

Lost Lake

Moderate to Difficult: 7.3 miles to lake or 15-mile traverse.

Ascend through dense spruce forest to open alpine meadows with views of the sea, mountains & eventually the gorgeous, pristine lake. The traverse takes you down through forest to the shores of the turquoise Kenai Lake.

From Mile 5 of the Seward Highway (just north of the fire station), turn west on Scott Way. which then turns into Samantha Way, then a left on Heather Lee Lane. Take first right on Hayden Lane, which leads you to the Lost Lake trailhead.

At Mile 6.6 of Seward Hwy., turn right and follow Bear Lake Rd. for .6 mile. Park on the right (south) side in the unpaved pullout.

Easy to Moderate

The trail along the edge of the lake is part of the Iditarod National Historic Trail. In the winter, cross-country skiers of all abilities will enjoy this easily accessible and consistently groomed area. Also popular with ice skaters and hockey players.

Continue past weir for about .7 mile to the end of Bear Lake Road and walk the 0.6-mile access trail.

Easy to Difficult, depending on conditions & distance: 16 miles to Russian Lakes Trail.

Getting Into Adventure — South

Many adventures begin where the roads, trails and tracks end. In addition to fishing and sailing charters launching from the small boat harbor, here are some ideas for kayaking, beachcombing, hiking and other explorations.

Be weather and wildlife aware — and know before you go by visiting a visitor center or park websites.*

# Name

Difficulty

1 Resurrection

Easy to Difficult, depending on conditions & distance: 16 miles to Russian Lakes Trail.

This wooded trail travels through dense spruce and hemlock forest and becomes very challenging beyond Martin Creek (mile 4.5). Caution: Not recommended for biking, skiing, snowmobiling or hiking with children.

At Mile 3 of the Seward Hwy., head west on the Herman Leirer/Exit Glacier Road. Drive 8 miles; trailhead on north side of road.

2 Exit Glacier &

Easy stroll to glacier • Moderate to difficult climb to Icefield

Visit the Nature Center then follow the 1-mile accessible loop trail through the cottonwood forest to a panoramic vista of Exit Glacier spilling down the mountain. A network of short trails leads to different views and the strenuous 8.2-mile (rt) Harding Icefield trail takes you high above it all. CAUTION: If you explore the toe of the glacier, do not approach it in places where the ice is over your head - huge, heavy chunks of ice fall off without warning.

At Mile 3 of the Seward Highway, head west on the Herman Leirer/Exit Glacier Road for 8.6 miles to the end. Taxi/shuttle service is available from Seward (with snowcoach service in the winter).

3 Mt. Alice

Difficult, 2.5 miles one-way.

This steep uphill climbs up through coastal forest to alpine, rewarding the intrepid with spectacular views.

From the Seward Hwy. turn right onto Nash Road and follow for about 2.5 miles; the trailhead is across the road from the first turnout on the right after starting uphill.

4 Iditarod National

Varying difficulty, lengths

Technically the INHT starts downtown. This portion travels through dense spruce and hemlock forest with occasional views of lakes and mountains. Some sections are steep and/or primitive.

Access points at Mile 2.1 of Nash Road, at the end of Bear Lake Road (via 0.6 mile access trail), or Mile 12 Seward Hwy.

5 Lowell Point

Varies

Many a kayak and paddleboard adventure begin at Lowell Point. Both guided and unguided parties launch here —for leisurely day paddles along the shore or to longer paddles or overnight adventures throughout the bay. Watch for whales, porpoise, sea otters, seals, sea lions and even bears walking the shore. Caution: winds kick up every afternoon. Lessons, guide services, rentals and water taxis to farther out destinations are available in here or in town. The beach at Lowell Point is also a popular shore fishing location…and a fun place to simply walk the beach (be mindful of the tides if you walk south).

Drive south on Lowell Point Road, turn left on Border Ave.; at the T with Beach Drive, consider stopping for weather updates and other important information… then head south to the launch at the end Beach Drive.

Easy to Moderate Hike: 1.5 mile (oneway)

Weave in and out of the rainforest, explore the beach and, when the salmon are in, see spawning action up close and personal. CAUTION: Trail beyond Tonisina Point is tidally dependent; you don’t want to be trapped on the other side unless you plan to spend the night.

Drive south on Lowell Point Road, turn left on Border Ave., turn right on Pinnacle View Rd, turn right up to trailhead and parking lot.
