We live in a very scenic area of Alaska. There is so much to do and see in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, we encourage our guests to stay for multiple nights to truly enjoy our part of Alaska. My favorite activities include hiking on Matanuska Glacier, flightseeing around Mt. McKinley, savoring the mystique of the old Independence Gold Mine in the alpine setting of Hatchers Pass, and taking time to smell the flowers at Palmer Visitors Center!
Our many lakes and streams offer opportunities for all types of fishing. Hooking a salmon on the Little Susitna River is always a thrill. Don't overlook tranquil fly-fishing.
Great day trips include a drive to Talkeetna for spectacular views of Mt. McKinley, a stop at the Musk Ox Farm followed by a drive up to Hatchers Pass and Independence Mine, or a drive up to Matanuska Glacier to experience the great views of the Talkeetna and Chugach mountains and the river valley of the Matanuska River. For outdoor adventure enthusiasts, try kayaking and mountain biking at Eklutna Lake or ice climbing at Matanuska Glacier.
On Friday afternoons, a free tour of the Palmer Tsunami Warning Station will tell you all you ever wanted to know about earthquake and tsunami monitoring.
