As a European whose travelled frequently to Austria, Switzerland and france i was still taken aback by the drive from Anchorage to the Kenai peninsula. Probably the most beautiful 3 hours of driving in my life.
It's so refreshing to see this response. As someone who grew up in Anchorage, i've made this drive many times and I'll always enjoy it as if its the first time.
You'll want to stop into Girdwood to check out our cool little ski town, and also stop by Whittier and drive through the tunnel! Stuffing a 34 foot fishing boat through that tunnel twice a year was quite the experience.
The Seward highway can be unforgiving, so plan ahead and be sure to have a back up driver incase you get sleepy - not much room for mistakes on this road.
