Overview
Now that you've gotten the lay of the land, you'll dig even deeper into Seward's geology with a guided tour of Exit Glacier in the incredible Kenai Fjords National Park. First, you'll have some free time this morning, so you can amble about town at leisure, exploring the harbor shops and soaking in the ambiance of the city's downtown. You'll meet your local expert guide later in the day for a family-friendly hike to Kenai Fjords National Park's spectacular Exit Glacier. As you hike toward this glorious feat of nature, your guide will share insights into how, exactly, this remnant of the last ice age originated, shaping the valley’s geology, influencing local ecosystems, and even affecting the weather. Such conversations with knowledgeable glacier guides will bring the site's natural and cultural history to life. After this hike — which equates to a little more than two miles round-trip, with about 150 feet of elevation — you'll return to your hotel, with time this evening to reflect on everything you've just experienced, learned, and witnessed for yourself. If you still have any energy, chat about the day over a dinner of seasonal fare in town, embracing Seward's local spirit through every lens.
