My Solo Trip to Alaska | Anchorage to Seward 

Ooh, enjoy! Homer looks gorgeous (though I guess everywhere in the region is gorgeous ha).

Ah, Seward is lovely. Have a great time on your trip!

I forgot to ask! What time of year did you go?

Thank you! This was the first week of July, with my first full day being July 4th. For the most part, the temperatures were in the 50s/60s, which I found perfect for hiking.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy your trip if you're going

Yes! Photography tour with PicTours Alaska in Anchorage: www.pictoursalaska.com Paddle boarding with Liquid Adventures in Seward: www.liquid-adventures.com/ Highly recommend both companies! Very experienced, knowledgable, and helpful guides :)

I didn't drive! I used Uber and the local taxi service in Anchorage (they have an app). I took the Alaska Railroad to Seward, and I walked everywhere there since it is a small town. The railroad also goes north from Anchorage to Denali and Fairbanks. Enjoy your trip!

@@mackenziekinzel Thank you for answering my question. Amazing content

After I went in the summer, my first thought was that I wanted to do my next trip in the fall or winter to get each seasonal experience. I would probably recommend summer if it's your first time in the state - to get acquainted without the added difficulty of freezing temperatures and snow. Temperatures in the hottest week of July, when I went, ranged from 50-75 F. I personally prefer 50-60 for hiking. The biggest factor, though, is what kinds of activities you'd like to do. For example, a lot of the water activities like sightseeing cruises, kayaking, paddleboarding, and boating are only available in the summer. In the winter, you'd have activities like dogsledding, snowmobiles, cross country skiing, etc. Hiking and certain sightseeing tours (like the photography tour I took) run year round.

Us longtime Alaskan’s are laughing so hard right now!😂👍

You can buy "Bear Spray" at a number of stores in Alaska. I believe it's like pepper spray, but specifically to deter bears. I wasn't hiking in areas where bear sightings are super frequent, but I would buy some if I were doing so, especially if I were alone. Enjoy your trip!

@@mackenziekinzel thank you, i'll let you know.
