The tour was designed to fit in with the time the Alaska Railroad was in Seward, and it was done very well. The first stop on the tour was the Seavey compound. This family has won several Iditarod races and they are dedicated to the 'musher' world. The ride in the training sled was OK, and handling the puppies was nice. The information, precise and detailed was excellent. Learning about changing the booties of 14 dogs at every rest station was just one of the fascinating technical things learned about how dogs and mushers endure the race.
The next evolution was the hike to the Exit Glacier overlook. It was a challenge for an 82 year old with heart issues, but was worth the effort. The amazing thing was how far the glacier has retreated in just the last 60 years.
Our tour guide/driver next took us on a tour through Seward proper, giving an excellent narration of the sights and history.
Lunch at the Seasalt restaurant was excellent. The visit to the fish weir was interesting.
This tour was done in conjunction with the Alaska Railroad day trip from Anchorage and is an excellent tour for the time in Seward.
