We were picked up at 9:00am by our driver Bill. He had a big van/bus and it was just us. Bill was friendly and knowledgeable. An Ohio transplant that’s been in Alaska 28 years. His love of the state and the job shined through. We drove through various areas of Anchorage and made several stops for pictures. We made our way to the Alyeska Ski resort and rode the Tram to the top. It was great. We had lunch up there and then we were on the road again. We stopped at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and saw our first Moose! Several bears and other native wildlife. It was an enjoyable stop. The Seward highway is gorgeous. All along the water with endless mountains and several glaciers. We took a quick drive through the two downtown areas of Seward before being dropped off at our hotel.
