Would you drive the most dangerous highway in Alaska?
That’s what I kept hearing about the Old Seward Highway connecting Anchorage to Seward. It didn’t feel too dangerous for most of the ride. I mean,
+ It was paved
+ It was pretty wide
+ It connects two of Alaska’s larger hubs, so it was well maintained
Plus, in Alaska, I expected the most dangerous road to be some tiny passage over a narrow bridge 100 miles from the nearest town.
On our way back, however, a close-call encounter with a moose in total darkness helped clarify why the Old Seward Highway gets that title.
