Mount Marathon Bowl & Race Summit with Alaska Guided Hikes
Overview
Want to get out in Seward and see the beautiful nature it has to offer while learning about the area’s history and present from a lifelong local? Book with Seward Guided Hikes! Climb up the steep but rewarding Mount Marathon Jeep Trail to emerge into a bowl immersed in lush greenery and steep peaks.
