Today we will complete the Glenn Highway (Alaska Route 1) and stay in Anchorage for 3 days to stock up and see the sights. We have been through the willow and birch woods and although this is moose country our sightings have been few. The Wrangell Mountains were a highlight, as well as driving the only two roads into the interior, were worth our time. The Matanuska Glacier, a finger of the Chugach Icefields, which covers an area nearly the size of New Hampshire, has sat here for the past 400 years, neither advancing nor retreating much.
We were suppose to see Dall Sheep but think they were on holiday. And today we climb into the Talkeetna Mountains and then begin a long descent into the Ma-Su Valley and the town of Palmer.
