Seward, Alaska Activities Scenic train ride to Seward Alaska is a land of extremes in every sense. See numerous glaciers and tunnels; watch for eagles, Dall sheep and moose; and gaze at rustic old buildings and dead trees in Ghost Forests -- all that remain after the largest earthquake ever recorded in North America -- on a scenic train ride to Seward and the Kenai Peninsula. This drive was voted one of the Top Ten Most Scenic Drives in America by Conde Nast Magazine.
