The Seavey Family Tradition

Visit Iditarod Champion Mitch Seavey’s homestead, where four generations of the Seavey family raise, train, and race sled dogs. Meet their incredible dogs, cuddle adorable puppies, then watch as teams of fifteen world class athletes are hitched to your sled. You’ll see first hand the dogs’ power, enthusiasm, and training as you ride for two and a half miles through the beautiful Alaskan wilderness.

Whether you are mushing a dog team down Resurrection River Valley right to Exit Glacier or taking in the fascinating history and breathtaking beauty as your guide shows you the sights of Seward; Make sure you bring your camera! The scenery is incredible and the experience often delivers viewing of moose and eagles.

See first-hand the effects of the 1964 Earthquake and stand in awe of the mountain that is home to the second oldest foot race in the United States. After the ride, listen to your musher tell stories from the trail, try on the clothing used to stay warm at -40 and stand on the dogsled that won the Iditarod.

If dog sledding and glacier viewing is on your bucket list, Ididaride is a great way to start your Alaskan Adventure!

Sunny Cove Sea Kayaking of Seward, Alaska

The following excerpt describes a crisp February day on the water in Resurrection Bay, and was written by John Page of Sunny Cove Sea Kayaking in Seward, Alaska.

February 21, 2012

We live in a beautiful place. Today’s activity choices included skiing, snowshoeing, dog sledding and paddling. Three days of skiing and tired legs helped move the decision toward paddling.

Seward and Resurrection Bay is incredible on a calm sunny day. Temperatures might not have gone much over freezing but it felt like spring had arrived. Light is returning. Over 8.5 hours of daylight today.

Sea lions and seals swam past, curious to check out this early season paddler. Boat and kayak traffic slow down this time of year. The animals had the Bay mostly to themselves. Resurrection Bay waters seem to be especially active this February with frequent sightings of sea lions, otters, seals, sea birds and the occasional visit of an over-wintering humpback whale.

The pace of life is picking up… Both on and off the water. Spring is in the air. Summer kayaking season is around the corner and the possibilities are endless.
