Paxson to Anchorage along the Glenn Highway today!

After breakfast at the Denali Cabins, we'll be driving 274 miles from Paxson to Deal's Bed and Breakfast in Anchorage today.  We'll stop at the Wrangell - St. Elias National Park Visitor Center in Copper Center and then travel west along the Glenn Highway.  Once in Anchorage we'll visit the Alaska Native Heritage Center and the Anchorage Log Cabin Visitor Center.  We'll stay at Deal's Bed and Breakfast for the first night of our two-night stay.

National Park Visitor Center open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm

Mile 106.8 Richardson Highway
Copper Center, AK 99573

Wrangell-St. Elias NP 

The breakfast at the Denali Cabins looks really good and is available from 8:00 am to 8:30 am so we'll leave the cabins after that. 

  It's 79 miles from our cabin in Paxson to the visitor center in Copper Center.  We'll be to the Visitor Center around 10:00 am.  Restrictions on our rental car prevents us from traveling into the national park so we'll spend a little extra time here to learn about the park.  I plan to stop in Glennallen for gas before the trip on the Glenn Highway

Deal's Bed and Breakfast

We plan on 2 nights here.

I had planned on staying in Girdwood near the Alyeska Resort, but I wasn't all that impressed by the condos compared to the price of the condos.  I expanded my search to include hotels, B&Bs, and condos in the Anchorage area and found this B&B.  The reviews were excellent and we decided to give it a try.
