#49 THE GLENN HIGHWAY

The Matanuska Glacier is the largest glacier accessible by highway in Alaska. It It is 4 miles wide at its widest and 27 miles long.


Looking back on the length of the Glacier. The river below is a number of small streams called a braided river. The glacier had deposited the rows of gravel and the streams run between them. Farther out they run together and form a good sized river.




Finally got some recognition.






At this stop there were a bunch of turkeys interested in the motorcycles. The bikers were on their way to south Carolina.








the young turkeys were busy eating dead bugs from our bumper.
