Alaska's Most Scenic Drive: Seward Highway

The Seward Highway (Alaska Route 1) is a 125‑mile scenic route from Anchorage to Seward on Resurrection Bay. Highlights:

• Turnagain Arm: Stunning inlet framed by Chugach Mountains.
• Portage Glacier: Flows from Harding Icefield to Portage Lake.
• Whittier: Unique town inside a fjord, on a former military base.
• Bear Glacier: Tidewater glacier calving ice into the sea.
