Stay In Seward

Set just inland of the Gulf of Alaska, and only 2 and half hours south of Anchorage, Seward is a city in the Kenai Peninsula on Resurrection Bay. Guests of the Best Western hotel in Seward will enjoy the close proximity to Hoben Park - formerly a rail depot built in 1917. Be sure to visit Mount Marathon, which hosts the annual Fourth of July Mount Marathon Race, with runners from all over the country. Bundle of the kids and head over the Alaska SeaLife Center for an up-close look at some native sea creatures. Visitors also enjoy a trip to Kenai Fjords National Park for a look at the Exit Glacier. Explore Seward’s historic past at the Seward Museum - closed on Mondays and for the entire month of January. Take a hike through the Resurrection Pass Trail North, a 39-mile trail that starts at 500 feet and reaches heights of up to 2,600 feet.
