Pro-Tip: Take the Scenic Route
For a true taste of `Old Alaska,` we recommend skipping the main freeway and taking the Old Glenn Highway. This delightful 19-mile country road meanders through the heart of the original Matanuska Colony Farmlands and offers a quieter, more scenic alternative for your journey.
