Looking Out Into The Inlet Date: 09/06/2005 Just beyond Potter's Marsh, there are some pullouts on the ocean side with extraordinary views of the Inlet.

Now You Know Why They Call It A National Scenic Byway! Date: 09/06/2005 With this kind of mountain backdrop, it's no wonder that the Seward Highway is listed as a National Scenic Byway. This shot was made in early Spring. As summer approaches, the snowline recedes higher and higher up the mountainside. Some Anchorage adventurers kayak across Turnagain Arm, ski these mountains, then kayak back on the next high tide.

Photographers' Nirvana Date: 09/06/2005 Don't be surprised to see professional photographers spending hours trying to get that perfect shot.

This particular shot was taken at the far end of Potter's Marsh at the intersection with Potter Valley Drive.

Boardwalk Date: 09/06/2005 The boardwalk extends for a good quarter mile. This shot was taken from one point on the boardwalk looking back towards the parking area.
