For a getaway close to Anchorage, visit the peaceful Alaska Glacier Lodge in Knik River Valley. The lodge features spacious private cabins, each with a north-facing deck and mountain views. It also has its own heli-port and offers heli-hiking, flightseeing with glacier landings, and fly-out dog sled trips. The lodge is an excellent option for self-drive visitors to southcentral Alaska who have a rental car and want to stay close to Anchorage but not in Anchorage. Travelers can also access the Alaska Glacier Lodge by shuttle from Anchorage for an additional fee.

For travelers with a 4x4 rental car who want to adventure farther afield, the Kennicott Glacier Lodge provides comfy accommodations within Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. The lodge is five miles from the tiny community of McCarthy and next door to the striking rust-red buildings of the historic Kennecott copper mine.
