TRAVEL:

DRIVING
From Anchorage drive north via the Glenn Highway (Alaska Route 1). The Parks Highway splits off at mile 35 for Wasilla, Knik, Houston, Willow, Talkeetna, Trapper Creek, Denali National Park and Denali State Park.  Continue on the Glenn Highway to reach Palmer.

From Fairbanks go south on the Parks Highway (Alaska Route 3) to enter the north end of the Mat-Su Valley, which begins south of Cantwell.

If you're driving up the Alaska Highway, take the Richardson Highway from Tok to Glennallen.  Turn on the Glenn Highway and head west.  The Mat-Su Valley's most eastern border is Lake Louise.

AIR TRAVEL
Many attendees will also need to fly to Anchorage as part of their travel plans. Provided below is a list of Alaska Air services to assist you in your travel planning. Please arrange your flight plans to allow for driving time so you don't miss out on the conference activities.
