- It takes a day to get from Anchorage to Glennallen if you take scenic detours to the Hatcher Pass, Lake Louise and Matanuska glacier. Glenn Highway is a great road to drive and is a delight to a photographer. I tried to capture some views along the way for my own memory and happy to share it here. Enjoy!
Ill be doing this drive June 1st 2024 as part of a road trip to Fairbanks.
I cant wait! I have done so many in the western lower 48,.and I'm sure my driving in Alaska will be the jackpot!
Best wishes on your road trip to Fairbanks! You will enjoy it immensely, guaranteed. In Glennallen take left turn and drive on Richardson Highway, this route to Fairbanks is a detour but worth it for those views. Take care!
Breathtakingly beautiful!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
@ You’re welcome.
Stunning. Regards from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Hello again :) Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much this is very well done and beautiful. I use to live in Glenn Allen and made the same drive many times but it’s been almost 20 years
Glad you enjoyed it, Dave! Makes me wonder why you moved from there, looks like paradise -- at least when the weather is good
So beautifull..
Glad to see you liked it!
Beautiful
I appreciate the compliment!
Beautiful scenery. May I ask, what month was this recorded? Thank you for the eye candy.
Thank you, Donnie! This was recorded in September.
Greate! Stunning telephotos with nice composition and colors. October. I am going there in early September 2021. Too early probably for such a beautiful fall? Are there specific photo spots?
Thanks! :) I think the entire Glenn Highway has a magnificent look, there are no particular 'spots', you just keep going and stop where you like. Keep in mind rental car companies forbid you from driving certain roads so be careful with that. And good luck this coming fall!
can u please say----what month what day for this beautiful trip??
thx/
Between September 4 and 6. Keep in mind, weather in that part of Alaska varies from year to year so give yourself a buffer, don't plan for the exact day.
@ thx, yes, it may flex a few days,,,
If you own an RV, there’s a great place to stop at called Ranch House Lodge. Right on a river about 10-15 miles from Glennallen and the owners run a lodge that has a bar and serves roadkill chili and homemade pizzas.
Looked up the lodge on the maps. Photos look great!
That drive looks like it would be terrifying at night.
It is pretty straightforward but why drive at night? It is as scenic as it gets so you'll miss all the splendor at night :)
@ I definitely wouldn’t take that drive at night. It was just a comment.
Yeah it's pretty dark lol I've driven that highway at night
Is it as isolated and unpopulated as it looks in the video?
Alaska is not a very populous state and outside of Anchorage and Fairbanks most areas are pretty isolated.
@ Sounds creepy and otherworldly.
@@ursulawanza8674 Not at all creepy. Just a population density. Alaska and the parts of Canada further than 200 km away from the US border are like that. But the sense of civilization never leaves you though so it feels pretty safe.
Are there any gas stations on this highway?
There's a plenty. I never had my gas range anxiety in that part of Alaska. But it is different north of Fairbanks and especially on Dalton highway where you have hundreds miles with no road services or cell phone coverage.
I have made this drive dozens of times (just made the trip in and back last weekend) and the clips in this video are from the drive, but only a small portion of the drive from like mile 60 to 124 on the Glenn Hwy. Doesn’t give you the whole picture very well
You may be right, but closer to Anchorage it feels more normal, more like what you can see in the lower 48, unless you take detour, of course. I guess less things caught my eye there, it is all very subjective. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
