In this episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Wander the World with Sharon”, we explore Anchorage, Alaska as the perfect gateway to adventure, and follow the journey south to Seward by scenic train.

From biking the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail to savoring local seafood and Wild Scoops’ unique ice cream flavors, this conversation highlights Anchorage’s vibrant blend of nature, culture, and cuisine. We also take you aboard the Coastal Classic train ride to Seward, the breathtaking Kenai Fjords tour, and cultural experiences like the Iditarod race and the Alaska Native Heritage Center. Plus, there’s a peek at exciting future travels to Quebec City!
