Abundant Outdoor Activities
Here, every season is the best season. In winter, carve untouched powder by heli, land on glaciers for photos, gather for glacier bonfires, and relax with sauna sessions and fireside après. Summer brings heli-fishing on remote rivers, mountain biking, alpine ridges, glacier e-foiling across turquoise pools, and guided hikes where wildlife sightings are part of the magic.
What To Do
Things to do in Palmer, Alaska
Just down the road, Palmer offers small-town Alaska charm with big character. Pop into local shops, visit the Musk Ox Farm or check out the State Fairgrounds. For food and drink, try award-winning pizza and craft beers at Palmer Alehouse or a classic PBR at the iconic Palmer Bar. It’s the perfect spot for a casual evening out to soak up authentic Alaska culture.
Other Area Highlights
Only 30 minutes from Palmer, Hatcher Pass is a must-see. Think alpine meadows, glacier streams and the historic Independence Mine — great for hiking, photos and summer picnics, or backcountry ski touring and snowshoeing in winter. About an hour further, Alyeska Resort offers lift-access skiing with stunning views of Turnagain Arm, scenic tram rides, downhill biking and fine dining at the mountaintop Seven Glaciers Restaurant.
