Glenn Highway to the Matanuska Glacier

I took a trip up the Glenn Highway to look at a ten acre lot near the Matanuska Glacier.

It was a beautiful day there, but foggy and zero degrees in Palmer. Since the Chugach Mountains were in the shade I took a few photos of some of the sunlit Talkeetna Mountains. Here is Granite Peak which is just past Sutton near mile 65 of the Glenn Highway.

One of my favorite mountains is Castle Mountain at about mile 72, just before you pull into Chickaloon.

And then at mile 95 is Victory Peak which towers over Victory Bible Camp and the long since closed Victory High School where I graduated in 1971.

Speaking of schools, here is Glacier View School where I attended 8th grade. It was only a two room school at that time and in a different location. The current location overlooks the Matanuska Glacier. It has one of the best views in the country…or world for that matter.
