If you’re searching for a small-town day trip in Alaska this autumn, look no further than Seward, Alaska. This charming coastal town snuggled against stunning mountains and the crystal-clear waters of Resurrection Bay, is a treasure trove of natural beauty and small-town life. It is the ideal destination for a fall day trip.
As the Alaskan summer fades and the fiery hues of fall foliage take center stage, Seward's landscape transforms into a spectacular display of crimson, gold, and orange.
For wildlife enthusiasts, a boat tour around Resurrection Bay in the fall is a serene experience, with opportunities to spot sea otters, seals, and even whales against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks and vibrant autumn leaves.
And go directly to The Lone Chicharron for the best tacos in town if you’re looking for somewhere delicious for dinner.
What sets Seward apart as a beautiful fall destination is its unique blend of stunning natural vistas, engaging activities, and small-town charm, all without the hustle and bustle of peak tourist season.
