Glacier view is not much but a great staging area for taking in views and the Matanuska Glacier Trek, as we thoroughly enjoyed. it's not even really an Alaskan city!
Our experience touring with Mica guides was excellent and might even be Lilly or Luke's favorite adventure. I was just super glad we booked it because there was little else we could do in glacier view besides taking the views and attempt some of the local hikes which were pretty much too strenuous for these Texans :-) Grand view RV park was a pretty good place to lay our heads and stage up as well.
After one night in glacier view we were to head west and head north up for Denali. to experience some of the outer areas we stopped in Wassilla and avoided Anchorage. It looks like a fairly normal place for people that want the advantages and flights out of Anchorage, but to not live there in that big city. one of the Wassilla locals told me so!
I convinced the family to try boondocking again at Wassilla Walmart and I'm glad we did it. the RV parks there were pretty crowded and had people partying at the local city park after 10. This Walmart camping was a very pleasant experience compared to our crazy 2017 Amarillo Walmart boondock where the employees played kickball and the sprinklers went off on us around 5:00 a.m. :-)
Of also note is that we tried to eat our way through our 19 lb of Valdez pink salmon. we found this to be fairly impossible with three eaters but before we realized that, we had grilled salmon, salmon tacos, salmon patty burgers, and even chicken salad salmon wraps. All very delicious!
finally we went back to freezing our salmon from spot to spot so we could take about 10 lb home :-)
