Seward to Anchorage is one of the most beautiful drives on the planet. You pass through some of the most spectacular sights Alaska has to offer. Whether you take a personal vehicle or a Motorcoach, this ride will leave you with memories to be cherished for a lifetime.
On your way from Anchorage you will pass Potter Marsh, a sight famed for its waterfowl and view of the Cook Inlet. Once you pass this you will begin your trek in and out of Turnagain Arm. If you are lucky, and have the flexibility in your neck, you can peer up the vertical cliffs to see mountain goats and their babies. To give your neck a rest, you can take a peak out of the other side of the vehicle and see the Cook Inlet. If you’re lucky, you may see a pod of Orcas or Beluga whales!
On your way out of the Turnagain Arm, you will come across the small town of Girdwood, and its iconic Gas Station. Past Girdwood, you can see the Whittier Tunnel, and you will pass the AWCC and Portage Glacier. All three are wonderful stops along the way. Once you make it past Portage, you will begin your trek onto the Kenai Peninsula. This is the land of forests and fauna, and is full of rich plants and animals. You will climb into the hills gradually in some areas, and more steeply in others. You will go through Moose Pass, and view the spectacular Kenai Lake.
Upon passing Tern Lake you will begin your trip down into Seward. If you shoes not to follow the highway to Seward, you can go the other direction into the twin cities of Kenai and Soldotna. You will continue to Upper Trail Lake, and through the community of Moose Pass. The Chugach forest will accompany you on the remainder of your trip back down to sea level. You will pass another small community near Exit Glacier, then you will be in the port town of Seward! After such a beautiful journey, you are sure to want to relax. There are plenty of places for you to sit and eat, or explore more of Alaska’s more unexpected wildlife at the Alaska Sealife Center.

My handicapped child wanted to go to visit the Alaska wilderness, and they had everything in place to make the lodging and tours accessible for us... They even picked us up from the airport. I can't wait to do all of the tours! Thank you so much for the beautiful memories.

My wife and I honeymooned in Alaska and had the most breathtaking experience on the Prince William Sound cruise. The water was incredibly calm, and the glaciers magnificent. Dinner was also fantastic.

Dear Karen,
I want to thank you and Denali Tours for a most successful trip to Alaska. During these 10 days I am sure we saw and experienced a great deal of true Alaska at its best. To top it all the pictures we took of the peak of Mt. McKinley in the early morning sunshine with blue skies and a reflection on Wonder Lake was breathtaking....Read More
