A Scenic and Deeply Historic Morning Walk Along Resurrection Bay.

Waterfront Park的点评

点评：Our arrival in Seward last September via the Park Connections bus felt like the start of a true Alaskan adventure. We stayed at a hotel not far from the Harbor Master’s Office, eager to explore the coast. Our main mission for the morning was simple yet historic: visit Mile 0 at South Waterfront Park. Initially, we planned to catch the free city shuttle from the harbor. However, we quickly realized that the infrequent, one-way loop service wasn’t going to align with our tight schedule. Rather than waiting around, we decided to lace up our shoes and head out by foot. The direct walk along the coastline took about 30 minutes, but we stretched our journey into a peaceful 45-minute stroll. There was something deeply grounding about the quietness of the waterfront trails. Along the way, we met fellow travelers who had journeyed here in their RVs, sharing brief smiles and stories against the backdrop of Resurrection Bay. Though we had to skip the Alaska SeaLife Center due to our limited time, the refreshing coastal views more than made up for it. When we finally reached the park, the weight of the area's history truly set in. Standing at the Mile 0 Marker—the very starting point of the grueling 938-mile Iditarod National Historic Trail to Nome—felt surreal. We took few photos to commemorate the moment, imagining the mushers who once stood where we were standing. Right nearby, we explored the Seward Founders Monument. Seeing that stone monument brought to life the story of August 28, 1903, when John Ballaine and the crew of the steamer Santa Ana arrived to establish the town as the ocean terminus for the Alaska Central Railway. We also paused to admire the George Rae Riley Memorial, a beautiful tribute to a prominent local dog musher and pioneer who helped forge the historic trail network. Learning that the city was named after U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward connected all the historical pieces together for us. What began as a simple morning walk turned into a relaxing, deeply reflective journey through Alaska’s foundational history. It was a morning we won't soon forget.

翻译：去年九月，我们乘坐Park Connections巴士抵达苏厄德，那一刻仿佛真正的阿拉斯加探险之旅就此开始。我们下榻的酒店离港务局不远，我们早就迫不及待想要去探索这片海岸线。那天上午，我们的任务虽简单却颇具历史意义：前往南滨水公园的“零英里”标志处。起初，我们打算搭乘港口提供的免费市区班车。但很快我们就意识到，这种班次稀少且为单程环线的服务根本无法满足我们紧凑的行程安排。我们没有干等，而是穿上鞋子，决定步行出发。沿着海岸线直走大约需要30分钟，但我们特意放慢脚步，将这段旅程延长为一次宁静而惬意的45分钟漫步。海滨小径的静谧氛围让人内心无比平静。途中，我们遇到了一些驾着房车前来的旅伴，在复活湾的映衬下，我们相视微笑、畅谈一番。虽然由于时间有限我们不得不放弃参观阿拉斯加海洋生物中心，但沿途清新的海岸风光足以弥补这一遗憾。当我们终于抵达公园时，这片土地深厚的历史底蕴便扑面而来。站在“0英里标记”处——也就是长达938英里、通往诺姆市的伊迪塔罗德国家历史步道的起点——这种感觉真是超现实。我们只拍了几张照片来记录这一刻，脑海中浮现出曾经也站在此处的那些雪橇犬队领队们。就在不远处，我们参观了苏厄德奠基者纪念碑。看到那块石碑后，1903年8月28日的那段历史便栩栩如生地浮现在眼前——当时，约翰·巴莱恩与“圣安娜号”蒸汽船上的船员们抵达此地，将该镇设为阿拉斯加中央铁路的海上终点站。我们还驻足欣赏了乔治·雷·赖利纪念像，这是对当地一位杰出的狗拉雪橇手兼开拓者的崇高致敬；正是他助力构建了这一地区的历史路径网络。后来我们得知，这座城市的名字正是以美国国务卿威廉·H的名字命名的。苏厄德帮我们把所有历史片段串联了起来。原本只是一次简单的晨间散步，却演变成了一场令人放松且发人深省的旅程，让我们深入了解了阿拉斯加的奠基历史。那个早晨，我们终生难忘。
