I took these 25 years ago on Fuji negative film, I am amazed how good they held up over the years. This Highway is very little traveled, it's off the main track but is very scenic as you can see.
You're right! These photos are still beautiful!

I just joined this morning. I've never been to Alaska but have always wanted to go. Thanks for the beautiful pictures. They take me there!

My friend and I have been having this discussion for a couple weeks on the Robert Frost poem "The Road Not Taken". Coincidently, I think your photos wonderfully demonstrate it...
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost (1916)
And by the photos, it indeed did make a difference.
