Introduction
The Glenn Highway links Anchorage with the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, about 180 km and designated a National Scenic Byway. Along the way you can gaze at the great ice tongue of Matanuska Glacier, the Chugach Mountains and glacier lakes; in autumn the birch trees turn gold, making it one of Alaska's classic road trips.
