Scenic route
Seward Highway
One of the most scenic drives in America hugs Turnagain Arm out of Anchorage, then climbs through the Kenai Mountains to the fjord town of Seward — glaciers, hanging valleys, and tidewater the whole way.
Why drive it
Anchorage to the sea, past glaciers and beluga water.
Watch for beluga whales and Dall sheep on Turnagain Arm, ride the tram at Alyeska, and detour to Exit Glacier near the end. Summer light stretches the day for hours.
