Anyone done this drive in early March? Will be driving from Anchorage to Seward during this time. Tips? Road conditions?

Hi TA members. Will be taking this drive from Seward to Anchorage - can anyone recommend a great place to stop and have lunch along the way? Thank you.

We end our early September cruise on a Sunday morning in Seward. We are planning to rent a car. I would like to see Exit Glacier, and then travel the scenic highway to Anchorage, enjoying the vistas along the way. We are overnighting in Anchorage, near the airport (flying home the next morning). Is this doable? How many hours should we budget for Exit Glacier and how many to enjoy a leisurely drive?Is there a place to buy snacks to have in the car near where you get off the ship? Thanks for any input!

We arrive in Seward from a cruise on a Sunday on June24, we are staying overnight in Seward and doing the Kenai Fjord boat cruise on the 24th ,staying overnight and then doing a few things in Seward(Exit glacier , Alaska Sea Life center) and then plan on driving around Alaska till 7/3 . We pick up a car from Anchorage on 6/26 early am to start our drive around, first to Denali from Anchorage for 3 nights in Denali ,then to Matanuska glacier view overnight then onto Girdwood and over night and then onto Homer for two night and then back to Anchorage to fly home. ( to rent a car from Seward and drop off 10 days later at Anchorage was about 900-1000 more than getting a car from Anchorage and returning it there) As of now I made a reservation on the Dome rail car from Seward to Anchorage, to spend the night and pick up rental car. Then a couple days later(today) noticed that a one way car from Seward to Anchorage was actually $110 less than the Dome train. I can cancel my dome train reservation and lose $45 dollars, which would make the care about $70 cheaper. I hear the drive from Seward to Anchorage is beautiful. We are later in the trip at the end actually driving from Matanuska Glacier View to Girdwood then onto Homer and then back to Achorage after Homer to fly home . . It looks like we will be driving the same almost the whole same road to Homer from Girdwood, except where it turns to go to Homer instead of Seward. So my question is should we drive from Seward to Anchorage and also then drive back down on the same road when we go to Homer, or take the Dome train from Seward to Anchorage and then have the car drive on the end of our trip thru this area. You say you did both the drive partially to Seward (to Girdwood?)from Anchorage. and then you also took the train? do you actually see anything different on the train ? Does it follow the highway or ver off and you see other scenery that is worth taking the train one of our ways as compared to driving both times on this highway area? thanks for input

Hi! I want to drive from Anchorage to Seward in April. What should I expect as far as road conditions that time of year? Is the highway kept pretty well cleared of snow?

What is the drive from Anchorage to Seward like in terms of heights? I have a ridiculous fear of mountain edges when it comes to driving on passes... i would like a heads up before i get there on what i am in for. We will be driving it the end of april. Might there be snow still on the pass? Is it safe to do that drive during that time of year? Thank you!

We have limited time in Alaska. I have planned to do the Seward Highway from Anchorage to Whittier. But will I be missing a lot of spectacular scenery if we don't take the highway down to Seward also.......or is most of the Best scenery on that part I have organised to see? Thanks for your advise.

Could anyone give me a idea of how long the drive is from Anchorage to Seward (in July). We're not in a hurry and want to take our time, but I'm just trying to get a rough idea. Thanks.

how long does this tour last with the glacier cruise?
