Great drive year round views. In the Summer enjoy tons of hiking trails and explore the old mine. In the winter enjoy sledding and skiing. Amazing views of the Valley, great place to look for Northern Lights in the Winter. Grab a picnic lunch and make a day of it.

Beautiful day drive- mountains, rivers and wildlife-the best of Alaska. You can pay a fee and drive up to head of the glacier and hike from there. Walk on a glacier while in Alaska. Recommend to wear sturdy shoes with good tread (not tennis shoes) expect some glacial mud. Take water, snacks, sunglasses and sunscreen. Trail is well marked.

Great place to visit to get some up close time with reindeer, moose, more alpacas and other farm critters. Located on Bodenberg Loop it's beautiful farm land with amazing views of the mountains. The "Butte" is a part of this property and nearby are two trailheads for a great day hike to truly see the Valley with a panoramic view.

City/town information
Quirky town with lots of gift shops and great places to grab a bite. This town is a launch pad for flight seeing tours of Denali, river trips up top Devils Canyon and the Alaska Railroad. Great day drive to go explore Alaska. If weather cooperates you may see the Denali Mt. (Mt. McKinley).
