The views here are very pretty and perfect to stop at if you are on your way to Alyeska or the Conservation Center! There are plenty of other scenic stops as well on the highway.

I turned off the highway here at this stop point just by accident and it was stunning! Didn’t see whales as I’m off season but enjoyable nonetheless.
