Wide Open Spaces - Alaska 2009 - Seward Highway

Highway to Seward Notes

After a quick lunch in Anchorage, we headed out south toward Seward.  There were so many scenic stops along Turnagain Arm that we had to make ourselves move on.....

The weather was very nice, so we made a stop in Girdwood to ride the Alyeska Resort aerial tramway.  The views were breathtaking. 

After a caffeine break at the viewing deck, we were on the road again and headed up into the mountains to Turnagain Pass and on to Seward.  The route was lined with one gorgeous view, glacier, waterfall, lake, or river after another.
