Stopped by this location to get some fall color next to the glacial river in Eklutna..awesomely beautiful! #adventure
The water here is glacier fed and is such a sharp contrast from the rest of the scenery it really makes this shot amazing!
Lovely winter drive and saw this guy up in the trees. #Adventure

Popular places to visit

This is one of my favorite places to take kids, family, and friends when they come for a visit. It is a truly "Alaska" experience to be able to wander among and feed the Reindeer here. And the scenery on the way can't be beat! Landscape wise, Pioneer Peak is the star of the show on this trip along the Old Glenn Highway & Bodenburg Loop Road.
