Part 6 | Motorcycle Riding Alaska's Seward Highway - National Scenic Byway

scenic-motorcycle-roadscenic-motorcycle-route

My favorite motorcycle road of all time is from Anchorage to Seward on Alaska's Seward Highway. This is Part 6 of the Seward Highway series. scenic-motorcycle-tour-routeSoon after Tern Lake the road winds along the shore of Upper and Lower Trail Lakes, and past the Trail Lake Fish Hatchery. Numerous campgrounds and hiking trails are available along this stretch of the route, some along scenic Kenai Lake. The lakes in this area look a surreal blue/green, due to the influence of melting glaciers. A narrow canyon funnels the road from Kenai Lake down towards Resurrection Bay and the turn off towards Exit Glacier, another must-see side trip. The road to Exit Glacier a seventeen-mile round trip mixed bag, some gravel but smooth and paved for the last few miles. The dirt travel is totally worth it, as the road brings you within a few hundred yards of spectacular 10,000-year-old ice.

Check back later to Motodometer for Part 7 of this post.
