• Exit Glacier is located within Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska. The glacier, which is over 3000 years old and covers 800 square miles, offers hiking opportunities along its edge to observe impressive ice formations. The surrounding wilderness features towering snow-capped mountains, dense green forests, and clear streams. Wildlife in the vicinity may include mountain goats on rocky terrains, black bears searching for food, and various bird species in the sky, enhancing the feeling of being in an unspoiled environment. • The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, a nonprofit, is committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and providing sanctuary for injured or orphaned animals. Situated on 200 acres of pristine Alaskan wilderness, the center houses numerous Alaskan species, such as grizzly bears, black bears, reindeer, caribou, bison, elk, wolves, and muskox. Visitors can join a guided tour or walk the scenic 1.5-mile loop at their leisure, gaining insights about the wildlife through interpretive signs at each habitat. The center also conducts educational programs and events, making it an ideal stop for families and animal enthusiasts. • Local food trucks are present on-site daily during the summer and on weekends in winter. Lunch at a scenic brewery with food trucks offers mingling opportunities of delicious food, craft beer, and nature's beauty. Guests can enjoy meals at wooden picnic tables on a sunlit patio among lush greenery and rolling mountains. The 3,040 square foot brewery and taproom provides panoramic views of the Chugach mountains and a cozy atmosphere in the timber-framed taproom, alongside a beer garden with a fire pit for a more rustic experience. • Lake Hood, hosting nearly 200 daily operations, is recognized as the largest and busiest seaplane base globally. Visitors can observe seaplanes taking off and landing as well as learn the history of the base. • The finest chocolate sampling is available from four kitchens: Jam and Jelly Kitchen, Hot Kitchen, Candy Kitchen, and the Molding Room. Visitors can watch demonstrations through viewing windows in the store and marvel at Alaska's 20-Foot Chocolate Waterfall, which involves over 3000 pounds of chocolate, traditional copper candy kettles, and a specially designed warming and mixing system. The chocolate flows from the fountain head, cascading down, creating a mesmerizing sight. • Two hours are reserved for travel time between locations, including pickup in Seward and drop-off in Anchorage. • Earthquake Park provides visitors with context regarding a significant event in Alaska's history: the 1964 Earthquake, which occurred on Good Friday, measuring 9.2 in magnitude, the most powerful quake recorded in North America.
