11. A straightaway just before Bird Point

Here is one of a few long straightaways (sometimes) permitting the faster vehicles to get around the slower ones. There's often no opportunity on busy weekends, when long lines of traffic travel in both directions. Sound Eco Adventures recommends patience--the scenery is nice, after all. Alaskans tend to drive slower than folks in the lower 48. (This particular stretch of road will be changing due to the construction.)
