Description

This photo shows a car in foreground traveling away from the camera south on the gravel road from Palmer toward Anchorage. Construction of the two-lane road appears complete with a fine gravel running surface and deep ditches. Spruce trees line both sides of the road. Very small patches of snow appear under the trees at left while the massive "Pioneer Peak" mountain that forms the background directly ahead is fully covered with snow, indicating the photo may have been taken in early spring.
