Blogs from Seward, Alaska, United States, North America

Let me get this out of the way, I did not puke on the boat! Several others did, I did not. Got your attention there. Today was spent in the very capable hands of Captain Kaylee and First Mate Tammy on board the Viewfinder, a small vessel that is part of Major Marine Tours. Our destination today was Northwestern Glacier and all the sites along the way during our 8.5 hour tour.

We all agree that Seward is a picturesque village, well worth a few days stay on your Alaskan tour. We were lucky to see two consecutive days of blue skies.

All that we noticed was the bike path that went next to the coast and looked inviting ... read more

Bonjour à tous, Encore une journée assez exceptionnelle par la beauté des paysages. Nous sommes ce soir à Seward, 200km au sud d'Anchorage, dans Kenai Peninsula. Un gros port de pêche principalement axé sur le saumon (pacifique) et le flétan à cette époque de l'année, et le king crabe en hiver. Juste pour info. Superficie de l'Alaska 1 717 854 km2, 3 fois la France, et 750 000 habitants. Mais comme depuis plusieurs jours nous sommes dans ce type de paysage, les superlatifs commencent à me manquer. Un conseil à tous venez le vivre, venez le voir. Et demain on continue dans ce décor de Pacifique et de montagnes Pour ceux qui suivent son blogue, Pier vous fera vivre notre journée. https://pierlalonde.wixsite.com/parallele66 Donc pour changer un peu, ce soir, je vais vous raconter quelques anecdotes sur ... read more

I've heard so much about the beauty of the Seward Hwy and it exceeded my expectations!! Gorgeous mountains and phenomenal glacier lakes and rivers all see green and so clear.! Spectacular!! Got situated in our cabin on Kenai Lake. 2nd dry camp, no electricity, no running water and a luxurious outhouse. Very secluded. Large deck with a chimera and virtually no bugs.. Rainy loved it!

Can't imagine the trip without her.... read more
