A GOOD REASON TO GO

National Scenic Byway

Tracing the receding glaciers responsible for this rugged gateway to Alaska s interior, Glenn Highway tells of powerful geological processes and the resourceful people who have managed to thrive along its corridor. Begin your journey in Anchorage and wind along 135 miles through fascinating landscapes, historical sites, and cozy roadhouses.

Before you go

Choose your stops before departure and check current road access, weather and vehicle suitability. A byway listing does not guarantee that every section or visitor facility is open.

Allow time for the approach, interpretation and breaks. Check the specific facilities and walking surfaces your guests need.

Current access, reservations, fees and operating arrangements should be checked with the official operator or managing agency. Photographs can show earlier conditions.
