6의 Sutton-Alpine가지 명소 & 주요 장소

This bridge across the mighty Matanuska River is dedicated solely to foot and bike traffic. The water's generally murky appearance and sometimes lovely coloring (depending on the light) comes from tiny silt particles that were ground up by the Matanuska Glacier and eventually make their way downstream.

This historic train depot now doubles as a community center and can be rented out for special events including concerts. There's also a nice green space around it, and a pathway that gives you a chance to run away from the road for a while.

On a good day, you really can't beat the scenery for this trail run. The trail itself, however, varies from hard-packed dirt to washed-out mud, depending on what the nearby river has been doing. Parts of this trail can also get very brushy toward the middle and end of summer, which increases the ever-present odds of a surprise encounter with wildlife like moose and bears. You should be aware of your surroundings and know how to handle a wildlife encounter if it does happen.

Cycle along the Old Glenn Highway Bike Path for a picturesque journey from Palmer to the Butte. This path runs parallel to the Matanuska River and offers captivating vistas of the river's tranquil waters and the majestic Pioneer Peak. With various entry points along the route, you'll have the opportunity to easily explore and soak in the stunning surroundings while enjoying a leisurely bike ride.

Spanning the picturesque Matanuska River, this footbridge offers a unique way to experience the natural beauty of Alaska. As you cross the bridge, you'll be treated to stunning views of the river's clear waters, the surrounding Chugach Mountains, and the lush landscapes along the Old Glenn Highway.

There's nothing lazy about this hike — but the beautiful switchbacks, gradual ascent, and even a few stairs on this trail do make a trip up Lazy Mountain much easier on the knees. You'll still have to rejoin the steep, direct trail about halfway up the mountain, though.
