The road leaves Anchorage with a low roar, glass and chrome slipping past suburban edges into the open sweep of Turnagain Arm. Mountains lean toward the highway, and the arm of the sea seems to push and pull like a living thing; gulls wheel over tidal flats while spruce and alder press the roadside. A private black SUV makes the passage deliberate and composed—luxury seating, climate control, and a chauffeur who times the Anton Anderson Tunnel openings to minimize waiting.

Dress in Layers
