Palmer, Alaska

After leaving the Nabesna Road section of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park we drove west towards Anchorage. It was getting late when we arrived in Palmer, the first city in the greater Anchorage region, so we got some pizza to go and ate at a great city park.

Punny name for a park in Alaska
The A-Moosement Park lived up to its name

We stayed at the Matanuska River Park Campground in Palmer, which we liked so much that we stayed two nights.

The Matanuska River Park is right at the end of the Palmer airport runway, so we got to see a lot of small planes up close
