Creator's Key Takeaways

I always love taking the train, especially the train to Seward with the outside decks.

It's amazing how it looks at low tide. And when the board tide comes in, there's going to be water right up to the shoreline.

Don't be afraid to travel solo, especially cruising. You always meet people.

This is a great place for spotting birds as in between these tall reads or grasses as well as these waterways are many different species of birds.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to the train station an hour before your train to avoid long lines.
Check with the cruise line for excursions to get to Whittier from Anchorage via bus or train.
Don't walk on the mud flats due to danger of quicksand and rising tides.
