City Walks - Seward Alaska Virtual Treadmill Walking Tour - Exploring Gateway to Kenai Fjords
#SEWARD #walkingtour #CITYWALKS #virtualwalk #treadmillworkout #treadmillscenery #virtualtreadmill
Our last day in Seward we finally got a full on rainy day. Seward stretches from the old part of down up to the marina, port, and train station where we end up. On the way, we walk along a beach of people hauling in salmon, standing within 10 feet of each other. We start out at the Sea Life Center that was fantastic and pass some restaurants and hotels and back down to the shore where we make our way up to the marina through neighborhoods and public camping areas with great views of the mountains on the opposite side of Resurrection bay.

Seward (Alutiiq: Qutalleq) is an incorporated home rule city in Alaska, United States. Located on Resurrection Bay, a fjord of the Gulf of Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula, Seward is situated on Alaska's southern coast, approximately 120 miles (190 km) by road from Alaska's largest city, Anchorage.
With a population of 2,693 people as of the 2010 Census, Seward is the fourth-largest city in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, behind Kenai, Homer, and the borough seat of Soldotna. The city is named for former U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward, who orchestrated the United States' purchase of Alaska from the Russian Empire in 1867 while serving in this position as part of President Andrew Johnson's administration.
Seward is the southern terminus of the Alaska Railroad and the historic starting point of the original Iditarod Trail to Interior Alaska, with Mile 0 of the trail marked on the shoreline at the southern end of town.
In 1793, Alexander Baranov of the Shelikhov-Golikov company (precursor of the Russian-American Company) established a fur trade post on Resurrection Bay where Seward is today and had a three-masted vessel, the Phoenix, built at the post by James Shields, an English shipwright in Russian service.
The 1939 Slattery Report on Alaskan development identified the region as one of the areas where new settlements would be established through Jewish immigration. This plan was never implemented.
Seward was an important port for the military buildup in Alaska during World War II. Fort Raymond was established in Seward along the Resurrection River to protect the community. An Army airfield built in Seward during the war later became Walseth Air Force Base. Both of the military facilities were closed shortly after the end of the war.
A large portion of Seward was damaged by shaking and a local tsunami during the 1964 Alaska earthquake.
Depending on the isotherm, Seward has a subpolar oceanic climate (Köppen Cfc) or a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc), but it experiences relatively moderate temperatures compared to the rest of the state throughout the year due to the influence of the nearby Gulf of Alaska. Only one month, January, sees an average daily high temperature below freezing, and temperatures below zero degrees Fahrenheit are rare. The oceanic influence also imparts a high level of precipitation, with the heaviest amounts occurring during the fall and winter months.
Seward's local economy is largely driven by the commercial fishing industry and seasonal tourism. Many lodging facilities, restaurants and shops in the city cater mainly to tourists, and are only open for business during the summer tourist season, generally regarded as running from mid-May through mid-September. Other major employers in the city include the state-run Spring Creek Correctional Center, the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development's AVTEC vocational school, and the local Providence Health & Services branch, which also serves as the community's main medical center.

Hi George, it certainly is amazing. -H
Went to high school there in the '50s. My parents lived there from 1950 until Mom died in '92. Buildings are all new but the bay and the mountains are the same. Beautiful place.

Thanks for the tour. My husband was at Elemendorf AFB for three years in the late 80’s. We were in Seward many times, this felt like going back in time. I was surprised how little things have changed! I’m back on the treadmill after completing a round of chemo, your videos are helping me to get moving again. Thank you again, I can hardly wait to see where I’ll walk tomorrow! 🥰

Thanks for the walk! A lovely small port town. I'm surprised it isn't bigger, given it supports both tourism and fishing. You mentioned Russia a couple of times, did you notice by a lot of Russian influence while you were in Alaska? Hope you are enjoying early autumn. Take care.

Actually, not much. I was reading Alaska by Michener and a third of it is about Russians mistreating native peoples. I don't believe they settled in this area. More the aleutians and over on Sitka and Kodiak. Glad you enjoyed it. -H

@@CityWalks I've never read anything by Michener, but have always been curious. Did you enjoy it?
Did you take the train? When does it start to snow there? And are you too far south for Northern lights? Where do the locals like to ski?
@CityWalks
2 жыл бұрын
Ah, no we rented a car but I'd love to take that train because it doesn't follow the road. There was snow on the mountains while we were there. They referred to it as termination dust. We can see aurora in Montana, so definitely not too far south. Just too cloudy, and too light in summer. I believe they like to ski at Alyeska in Girdwood for alpine but there may be other hills. Then there's backcountry and nordic too. Thanks for the questions. Hope I answered them. -H

Would be much better if the narrator, the tour guide, had remembered the facts about what was being observed on this walk. Perhaps the audio portion should be re-done.
