Activity itinerary

Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (Pass by)

The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is a fantastic stop for anyone who loves Alaska’s iconic animals. The center cares for injured or orphaned wildlife and also supports essential research and education.

Exit Glacier (Pass by)

Exit Glacier is one of the most accessible glaciers in Alaska, offering close-up views of a massive river of ice descending from the vast Harding Icefield. Short trails lead to dramatic overlooks, while the nature center provides exhibits, ranger programs, and insight into the glacier’s rapid retreat. Whether you take a quick walk or spend more time exploring, this is a rare opportunity to see a glacier from just a few steps off the road.

Beluga Point (Pass by)

Beluga Point is one of the Seward Highway’s most dramatic overlooks, where mountains plunge into the silty waters of Turnagain Arm and beluga whales often appear in midsummer. These small white whales follow the salmon runs through the powerful tides, surfacing in flashes of white or brief sprays of mist. It’s also a prime spot to look for Dall sheep on the cliffs above, making this one of Alaska’s best places to spot both marine and mountain wildlife.

Bird Point

Bird Point offers sweeping views of Turnagain Arm and its powerful tides, framed by steep mountains and glacial valleys. This overlook features beluga sculptures, interpretive signs, and scopes for wildlife watching, along with access to the Bird-to-Gird Trail. Look closely at the bedrock, the long grooves and scratches are glacial striations left during the last ice age. It’s a beautiful, quick stop with both scenery and geology on display.

Cooper Landing (Pass by)

Cooper Landing sits at the headwaters of the Kenai River and is famous for salmon fishing, rafting, and bright turquoise water. Anglers come from around the world for its sockeye, coho, and trout, while rafting trips run through stunning canyons and fast-moving glacial currents. Elevated viewpoints around the boat launches offer chances to spot Dall sheep and mountain goats on the surrounding cliffs. The town also features a small museum with historic cabins and stories from early settlers.

Girdwood (Pass by)

Girdwood is a lush mountain town tucked among forested slopes and glacier-fed valleys, known for its outdoor adventures and alpine scenery. From here, the Alyeska Aerial Tram rises high above the valley, revealing panoramic views of Turnagain Arm, hanging glaciers, and rugged Chugach peaks. Whether you’re stopping for food, fuel, or a ride to the top, Girdwood is one of the most rewarding mid-route stops along the Seward Highway.

Homer Baycrest Overlook point

Baycrest Overlook is one of Homer’s signature viewpoints, perched high above town with an unobstructed panorama of the Homer Spit, Kachemak Bay, and the snow-streaked Kenai Mountains. From here, the boats in the harbor look tiny against the broad sweep of water and sky, and shifting clouds and light constantly reshape the view. On clear days, you may even spot whales or sea otters out in the bay, especially if you bring binoculars.

Homer Spit

Homer Spit is a narrow, 4.5 mile gravel bar extending into Kachemak Bay, shaped by glaciers, storms, and the dramatic 1964 earthquake. Today it’s a lively destination with cafes, art studios, beaches, charter boats, and a busy harbor. Outfitters along the Spit offer bear viewing flights, fishing trips, sea kayaking, and water taxis to nearby coves and trails. Wildlife is everywhere, from bald eagles on pilings to sea lions, otters, and jellyfish drifting in the clear bay water.

Kenai Fjords National Park (Pass by)

Kenai Fjords National Park is where mountains, ocean, and ice collide in dramatic fashion. From tidewater glaciers to deep fjords carved by ancient ice, the park showcases some of Alaska’s wildest scenery. Wildlife is abundant — including sea otters, puffins, mountain goats, and humpback whales. Whether you explore by road at Exit Glacier or join a boat tour from Seward, this park is a highlight of any Alaska trip.

Kenai River (Pass by)

The Kenai River is famed for its vivid turquoise color and world-class fishing, with nearly 40 fish species thriving in its glacial waters. Anglers come for everything from Dolly Varden and rainbow trout to four species of salmon, including the legendary king salmon. The river also offers thrilling whitewater rafting through narrow canyons and rolling Class III rapids. Its combination of beauty, recreation, and wildlife makes it one of Alaska’s premier waterways.

Mount Iliamna Viewpoint

Mount Iliamna rises dramatically across Cook Inlet as part of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. Its classic cone shape, ten major glaciers, and frequent steaming vents make it one of Alaska’s most striking volcanoes. Though it has not had a major eruption since 1867, it remains active, with occasional puffs of ash recorded over the years. The viewpoint showcases a mountain long recognized by Dena’ina communities and later named in Russian and Spanish explorations.

Ninilchik (Pass by)

Ninilchik is a coastal village with sweeping views of Cook Inlet and a long tradition of salmon fishing. Small boat harbors buzz with activity during summer fishing seasons, and nearby recreation sites offer beaches, picnic areas, and wildlife viewing. Offshore, visitors often spot bald eagles, whales, and otters. The 1901 Holy Transfiguration Russian Orthodox Church, perched on a bluff with its distinctive golden domes, is one of the most photographed landmarks on the Kenai Peninsula.

Potter Marsh Wildlife Viewing Boardwalk

Potter Marsh is a popular stop in the Alaska Coastal Wildlife Refuge, especially for birders. It’s home to a wide variety of wildlife, including bald eagles, northern harriers, and trumpeter swans. Moose, muskrats, and beavers also thrive in these wetlands. A half-mile, accessible wooden boardwalk winds out over the marsh, offering close-up views of the water, grasses, and surrounding mountains. Interestingly, the marsh is man-made: early 1900s railroad construction altered the creek’s flow, flooding the area and creating this unexpectedly rich habitat for birds and animals.

Russian River Falls

Russian River Falls is one of the best places on the Kenai Peninsula to watch salmon leaping upstream. During peak runs in late June and late July, thousands of sockeye splash and surge up the tiered waterfall, easily viewed from two platforms overlooking the river. The mostly flat, two-mile trail is accessible, scenic, and enjoyable even outside peak season. Bears are frequently seen fishing here as well, adding excitement for wildlife enthusiasts.

Soldotna (Pass by)

Soldotna is a bustling hub along the Kenai River, famous for its easy river access and strong salmon runs. Boardwalks at spots like Centennial Park and Soldotna Creek Park offer safe places to cast a line or watch anglers in action. The Visitor Center displays the record-breaking king salmon caught in 1985, while the Homestead Museum preserves historic cabins and pioneer life. In summer, outdoor concerts and weekend markets bring extra charm to this riverside town.

Sterling (Pass by)

Sterling serves as the gateway to the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and is a favorite destination for anglers during the summer salmon season. The area is also famous for two wilderness canoe systems: the longer Swanson River Canoe Route, which connects dozens of lakes through quiet waterways, and the shorter Swan Lake Canoe Route, which winds through muskeg wetlands. These peat-rich landscapes support mosses, berries, and wildflowers, offering vibrant fall colors and a peaceful contrast to the busy highway.

Summit Lake

Summit Lake is a pristine, high-elevation lake surrounded by rolling tundra, rocky ridges, and alpine meadows. The still waters mirror the mountains on clear days, creating postcard-worthy views. Its quiet shoreline is perfect for stretching your legs or enjoying a peaceful break, especially in early summer when snow still lines the peaks above.

Seward (Pass by)

Seward is a charming harbor town at the end of the Seward Highway, surrounded by towering peaks and the icy waters of Resurrection Bay. It serves as the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park and offers everything from glacier cruises and kayaking to coastal trails and waterfront dining. With its lively marina, mountain backdrop, and access to Exit Glacier, Seward is one of Alaska’s most rewarding destinations.

Tern Lake (Pass by)

Tern Lake sits at the meeting point of the Seward and Sterling Highways, a serene alpine lake ringed by steep mountains and frequented by swans, bald eagles, and the lake’s namesake Arctic terns. The reflections here on calm days are stunning, and the surrounding wetlands make this a favorite spot for bird-watching and photography. It’s one of the most photogenic crossroads in the Kenai Peninsula.
