Seward Highway, car or train?

We haven't done the train yet... our first time will be in June. We have done the drive many times though in our RV. It is an absolutely beautiful trip! One of our favorites!

 

While driving, there are several areas where you can pull over and take your time looking around. That won't be an option in the train.

 

If you go by car, the person driving can't enjoy the scenery, which is one of the big reason we're going by train. We're also traveling with my folks and my DD wants to have the option to get up, stretch and walk around a bit on the train.

Both have advantages, the car gives you all the freedom for the many possible stops along the way. 125 miles Anchorage/Seward. Allow 3 hours. The train is over 4 hours, but superior scenery compared to the highway. I do not recommend this as a day trip, overnight in Seward.

 

Cost is $62 one way.
