Palmer Lodging
Alaska Glacier Lodge is located a short 30-minute drive from downtown Palmer and offers stunning views of the Knik River basin and surrounding mountains. Well placed for those traveling between Copper Center or Valdez and Anchorage, the lodge features private cabins and onsite dining in addition to a number of activities unique to the area.
Hatcher's Pass and the Independence Mine State Historical Park are located just above Palmer in the Talkeetna Mountains. It's a favorite among locals. Take advantage of the park's many trails for up-close views of historic mining buildings in this former gold-mining community.
Palmer's history as an agricultural center of Alaska makes it the perfect destination for those interested in the area's farming culture. Palmer is part of the Matanuska-Susitna Valley and is only 42 miles north of Anchorage. Alaska Tour & Travel can assist independent travelers with rental vehicles or can arrange a shuttle to the Alaska Glacier Lodge from Anchorage for those who are happy to have a relaxing retreat minus the car.
