~~ Glenn Highway ~~

 

We took the Glenn Highway from Anchorage up to Paxson, staying overnight at a campground near
Palmer. It was the first time I saw the Wrangell-St. Elias range "out" rather than shrouded in
fog and cloud.

From Paxson, we turned west and traveled the Denali Highway to Cantwell.

Our next adventures were along the Parks Highway and in Eklutna State Park.
