A view of water, mountains, and clouds on the Seward Highway south of Anchorage in October 2006.
A moderate hike brought me an elevation where wind gusts of 80 plus mph tore off my hat and sent me tumbling. Fortunately I captured this shot of the Turnagain Arm before I got blown off the mountain.
Below you can see the Seward Highway wind along the Turnagain Arm. This shot was taken just before a wind gust knocked me back down the trail.
The Seward Highway stretches from Anchorage to Seward, about 120 miles to the south. The highway is in excellent condition, but is two lanes wide most of the way. It is the most scenic highway I’ve ever driven.
We see the tracks of the Alaska Railroad, which run here between the Turnagain Arm and the Seward Highway.
