7/27/19 - Day 29 - Seward
We are pretty sure those are claw marks, a black bear and cub had been in the area. |
The seaport of Seward is the original "Mile 0" for the Iditarod trail. Now known for the dogsled race, the original trail was for supplies and mail. This little town is nestled literally at the base of the surrounding mountains! One thing we found interesting is that the highway connecting Seward to the interior (Anchorage) wasn't completed until 1959.
The port boat basin had pretty teal blue water. |
The busy port had a number of fjord tours and charter fishing boats coming and going. One sea otter was enjoying a halibut carcass right alongside the front dock, much to the delight of passersby. They are cute little guys, but boy otters have sharp teeth. I tried to get photos of this one with those teeth exposed, but no luck.
