Day 74.....Seward Alaska is our next stop....we have enjoyed exploring the Sterling Highway....
Captain had to look and visit
Kenai River and 35 mph roads around Cooper Landing
Kenai Lake is 24-miles long at an elevation of 436 feet
You feel like you are in the mountain @ 10 degrees cooler
Good-by Sterling Hwy and Hello Seward Hwy
Average temperature in July is 62 degrees
Average rainfall in July is 1.87 inches
But in September average rainfall is 6.86 inches
Average snowfall is 80 inches
Again still in blue jeans and sweatshirts
Seward has 2 cruise ships today...lots of shoppers
The harbor is certified as an Alaskan Clean Harbor
Camping on Resurrection Bay.....mostly "dry" but a few with 30Amp
Seward is one of the top five ports in Alaska for commercial fisheries
Lowell Creek waterfall
Narrow road...hugs the shore of Resurrection Bay on its way to Lowell Point
Seward...known as the "Gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park"
Captain says....this road is the worst yet
One more view
Resurrection Bay...a year-round ice-free harbor surrounded by mountains
Exit Glacier Road....Road to The Blue Ice
Exit Glacier is 2 miles long and descends 3,500 feet from the Harding Icefield
4.1-mile hike, one way, strenuous uphill climb...what do you think!!!
Resurrection River braids
Exit Glacier is in Kenai Fjords National Park
Stunning Scenery today
