Exit Glacier
We drove on down the Seward Hwy until we came to the road that lead to Exit Glacier, which is about 3 miles out of Seward. It was a pleasant sunny day and we decided to take a hike on the Resurrection River Trail. We enjoyed a hike along the river for 2 or 3 miles before turning back. We decided to stay overnight in a pull-off along the entrance road next to the roaring river.

We got up in the morning and headed to Seward. Again it was a nice sunny day. We found a campsite at one of the city campgrounds. We went to church at the United Methodist Church in town. It was a nice service and we had an amazing view of the bay out the windows on our side. After service we went back to camp for lunch and sat out in our lawn chairs enjoying the beauty that surrounded us. One of our neighbors next to us had flown in to San Francisco from New Zealand. They bought an older motor home and drove it to Alaska for the summer.
Mount Marathon - each summer they have a race to the top and back which is about 3000', I think the record time is a bit less than 42 minutes

The next morning we planned to head out to Exit Glacier early and hike the trail up to the Harding Ice Field.
