Itinerary

1. Anchorage
After pickup in Anchorage, explore Anchorage on an exciting city tour and travel along the scenic Seward Highway, a National Scenic Byway and one of the only 13 highways in the U.S. designated as an "All American Road."
2. Potter Marsh Bird Sanctuary
Potter Marsh, at the southern end of the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge, is an ideal break from Anchorage for birders and other wildlife viewers. From the Seward Highway just before the left turn into the Potter Marsh parking lot, you are treated to a stunning view of Turnagain Arm. A wooden boardwalk winds 1,550 feet from the parking area through the marsh and across watery openings and sedges, perfect habitat for a rich variety of birds. From late April through September, Canada geese, northern pintails, canvasback ducks, red-necked phalaropes, horned and red-necked grebes, and northern harriers use this wetland. Look for eagle nests in the cottonwoods near the base of the bluff using binoculars or a spotting scope.
Duration: 20 mins
