A Jewel Along the Richardson Highway

Continuing my scenic highways series, with another favorite from the Frontier State: Alaska.

 

Nestled in the Chugach Mountains in Thompson Pass, Worthington Glacier is a popular tourist destination as it is right off the highway and has easy access.

 

The Richardson Highway is Alaska's oldest highway, beginning as a gold rush trail to Eagle in 1898. General Wilds P. Richardson worked to upgrade it to a wagon road in 1910 after the Fairbanks gold strike.

 

Have a wonderful week!
