Just did the Scenic Drive tour from Anchorage to Homer—so worth it!

I just did the self-guided Sterling Hwy tour and wow, the views were incredible! Stopped at Potter Marsh to see the birds, then Beluga Point for the best photos. The storytelling was really engaging, and my friends loved learning about the history along the way. We even checked out the Wildlife Conservation Center! Plan on doing it again next summer. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting a chill day out!
