Alaska Travel Destination & Attractions | Visit Kenai Fjords National Park Show
Kenai Fjords National Park is a United States National Park established in 1980 by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The park covers an area of 669,984 acres (1,046.85 sq mi; 2,711.33 km2)[1] on the Kenai Peninsula in southcentral Alaska, near the town of Seward. The park contains the Harding Icefield, one of the largest ice fields in the United States. The park is named for the numerous fjords carved by glaciers moving down the mountains from the ice field. The field is the source of at least 38 glaciers, the largest of which is Bear Glacier. The park lies just to the west of Seward, a popular port for cruise ships. Exit Glacier is reachable by road and is a popular tour destination. The remainder of the park is primarily accessible by boat. The fjords are glacial valleys that have been submerged below sea level by a combination of rising sea levels and land subsidence.
Kenai Fjords National Monument was initially designated by President Jimmy Carter on December 1, 1978, using the Antiquities Act, pending final legislation to resolve the allotment of public lands in Alaska. Establishment as a national park followed the passage of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act in 1980. The park protects the icefield, a narrow fringe of forested land between the mountains and the sea, and the deeply indented coastline. The park is home to a variety of terrestrial and marine mammals, including bears, whales, seals and moose,More info

One of the more popular day trips from anchorage
follows the seward highway along turnagain arm
Past the potter point state game refuge on the way
To portage glacier. Potter flats, a mere ten miles
From anchorage, is a wonderful place to view wild
Fowl. Over 130 species of migratory birds feed
and nest here.
The road to portage glacier also passes several
areas where you can watch salmon spawning in the
Creeks. Just inside the park a viewing platform
extends out onto the water for a birdseye view
of this natural spectacle.
Portage glacier itself is one of the most photographed
Spots in alaska. This clear blue lake with its thousands
of floating icebergs becomes a playground for
Hundreds of visitors every day.
Several trails allow
hikers to get away from the crowds and get a closer
Look at the glacier which spills into the lake some
Two and half miles from the parking area.
Some 70 miles south of portage glacier, the highway
And the alaskan railroad end at the foot of the
Chugach mountains and the port town of seward.
seward has been an important connection to the
outside world since it was founded in 1903.
These pilings are all that remain of the original
Cannery and port facility after the 1964 earthquake,
But the port was rebuilt, and stands today as one of
the best equipped fishing ports in the western
united states.
In addition to its extensive commercial fishery,
Seward is one of alaska's favorite spots for ocean
Sportfishing.
The salmon in ressurection bay are sometimes so thick that they
Seem to push each other out of the water (fish jumping),
And for the bottom fisherman, rockfish, lingcod and
Halibut abound.
But there's more to do than fish in Seward.
Abenteuer Alaska (3): Denali - Byers Lake - Seward
Von Fairbanks aus geht die Reise zunächst zum Denali State Park und der Princess Wilderness Lodge, von wo aus wir einen fantastischen Paddeltrip auf dem wundervollen Byers Lake unternehmen. Danach geht es durch atemberaubende Landschaften zum Hafen von Seward.
Seward Alaska Waterfront RV Park Tour
America has over 13,000 RV parks and of all of those, few, if any can match the breathtaking beauty that the Seward Waterfront RV Park offers. From the RV Park we saw whales, seals, otters, bald eagles and more! Multiple cruise ships gracefully cruised past during our stay as well. The scenic RV Park is conveniently situated within an easy walk of the shopping, dining and entertainment options of the Seward Boat Harbor and downtown Seward. The RV Park directly abuts a high quality community playground, also on the waterfront. Water and electricity hook-ups are $40 without water and electricity is $20. The RV Park offers fairly clean bathrooms including showers that stay open until 10:00pm and cost $2 extra. I wish the Seward Waterfront RV Park had a dumping facility on the lot, but the 1 minute drive to the facility down the road wasn’t really an issue. If you’re planning a trip to Alaska and taking an RV or willing to tent camp, then this RV Park is a must visit.
If you enjoyed this Seward Waterfront RV Park tour, then make sure to give it a thumbs up, share and post a comment below!

Seward to Exit Glacier, Kenai Fjords National Park Scenic Drive (faster)
Luv 2 Drivelapse? - Like for updates & great travel ideas
This drive is the only way to access Kenai Fjords National Park without a boat. From Seward, first I drove south on a great little dirt road, then turned and came back through town. Then, I headed out the road to Exit Glacier. You'll see the glacier from the road.

Seward's location is nothing short of epic. It sits at the northernmost edge of Resurrection Bay, a deeply dug fjord carved millennia ago by retreating glaciers. To the east are snowcapped peaks decked out in their lower altitudes by forests of Sitka spruce. To the west is 700 square miles of ice known as the Harding Icefield. It is encompassed by the larger Kenai Fjords National Park. No matter where you look, there's something beautiful to see.
It was the area's natural gateway to northern Alaska lands that led to its 1903 selection for the southern terminus of what would become the Alaska Railroad. The settlement was named Seward in honor of the politician who lobbied for and negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867. When the railroad was successfully constructed to Anchorage, Seward's future was secure. Today it serves as a turnaround port for most major glacier route Alaska cruises from Seward to Vancouver.
Seward offers a wide selection of activities for every age, energy level, and interest. By far the most popular are Kenai Fjords day cruises into Resurrection Bay and Kenai Fjords National Park. Our favorite cruises go by spacious catamaran into Aialik Bay for astounding views of tidewater glaciers and ample chances to see the area's diverse marine wildlife. Seward's beautiful bay waters can also be explored by a guided kayak excursion. Seward is a great place for fishing. Monster halibut are caught each year in nearby waters, and the town is host to the popular Seward Silver Salmon Derby held annually in mid-August. Back on land, there's the Alaska SeaLife Center, hiking at Exit Glacier, ziplining, sled dog kennel tours-the list goes on.
Keep reading for expert Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park advice on where to stay, things to do, and how to get around.
For most visitors interested in seeing Seward, we recommend spending at least one or two nights in town. There are as many lodging options as there are activities. The Harbor 360 offers freshly updated rooms, complimentary continental breakfast, and a convenient harbor front location. Farther outside of town, the Seward Windsong Lodge has a cozy rustic feel and views of the Resurrection Valley. The lodge provides transportation into town via a free scheduled shuttle.
Although Seward does have a small airport, most visitors reach Seward by Alaska Railroad, Park Connection Motorcoach, rental car, or aboard a cruise from Vancouver. The Park Connection offers two trips daily between Anchorage and Seward and the only same day connecting service to Talkeetna and Denali National Park. The Alaska Railroad offers daily summer service between Anchorage and Seward, with the train from Anchorage arriving in the late morning and return train departing in the early evening. Many consider this route to be the most scenic train trip in the state. The highway to Seward is a National Scenic Byway in its own right, so we recommend traveling one direction by rail and the other by bus.

The day was not great for my long drive from Seward to Denali National Park, but hey, what can you do? You can Drivelapse it anyhow, that's what! So, if you can tolerate the wipers and the drips, enjoy the drive north, from Seward to Tern Lake -- the entire length of Alaska Route 9, albeit just a portion of the Seward Highway, because Alaska's roads are weird like that.

Lost Lake Trail, Seward Alaska
Just finished a 7.5 mile (one way) hike up the Lost Lake Trail near Seward Alaska in September 2011. Took 4.5 hours to make the one way trip (3.5 back down). Tried this same trail the year before in June and ran into snow half way up the trail. Fairly steep as you will climb 2,000 feet in the 7.5 miles. Also Rented an RV for the 2 week vacation. Stayed in Denali State and National Parks. Stayed in Eagle River Park outside of Anchorage too. Write me if you would like to know more about RVng and hiking, fishing Alaska. Thanks for viewing Al

Seward, Alaska in the Winter | Anchorage Day Trip
ALASKAN WINTER ROAD TRIP / Scenic Drive in Alaska + Visiting Seward, Alaska
SEWARD, ALASKA
Seward is about a two and a half-hour drive from Anchorage along the scenic coastal Seward Highway. It makes for a great day trip from Anchorage. Truly, though, this winter road trip in Alaska was absolutely stunning and one of the most beautiful drives we've ever been on.
Once we got to Seward, we visited a little coffee shop and walked around the town a bit. There are a few hikes you could do to glaciers from there but the roads were closed due to snow and ice.
