As I continue my drive north from Homer to Wasilla this middle section will take me from Tern Lake, where Hwy 1, coming up from Homer meets Hwy 9, coming up from Seward, to just south of Anchorage. The first two times I drove this section of road there were low clouds and visibility was limited. As you will see, it was a beautiful day so I stopped and took photos of mountains I couldn’t always see clearly, or at all, the first time I passed by.
I am now getting close to the turnoff for Whittier.
I have now reached the waters of the Turnagain Arm and for most of the remaining drive to Anchorage, the highway will run right alongside the water. The first photo below is looking back at the way I had come thus far.
This second segment of my drive took about an hour and 45 minutes, and left me to a point just south of where I had seen the “Denali Complex” of mountains in the distance earlier in my trip. I am not very far from Anchorage at that point.
