Once we get to Anchorage, we start the ocean part of the tour…. We make our way around Cook inlet with mountains all around.. Probably one of the prettiest part of the trip… however, it is also one of the most congested areas. There is a single lane road around the inlet with no passing and lots of traffic. There are many turn outs to view the scenery… inlet with mountains in the background.
We go around the inlet then start an interior highway through the mountains towards Seward. We thought there was a lot of traffic in the Denali area, but it doesn't compare to the traffic the we have now. It is the 'Salmon run season' and there are a lot of people of fishing, or going fishing.
We get to Seward and got checked into our room. We have another lodge type room and actually got upgraded to a balcony room which was sweet. (none of the rooms up here have air conditioning because it gets cool at night. ) Our room is nice here and we have a wooded view. The view from the front of the lodge is of the mountains.
Seward is not a really big town. The activities here consist mostly of doing a Fjords tour, fishing, and viewing Exit glacier (which is a 7 miles from our room)
We found a good place to eat that wasn't too expensive… call the Train Wreck… small restaurant built in an old rail car… good hamburgers, and pulled pork sandwiches…
