We want to give you the experience of a lifetime! This is so much more than a typical tourist ATV/UTV tour. For one thing, we cover 20-50 miles depending on the tour. That means you'll enjoy a huge diversity of terrain, vegetation, wildlife, and absolutely incredible scenery. You'll ride across rivers, climb dunes, go deep into the forest and have some high-speed runs on the open riverbed. No matter where in the valley we are, you'll see amazing views of glaciers, rugged mountains, rivers and so much more. This is one of the most amazing and unique areas of Alaska. Add in new industry-leading machines, a knowledgeable guide who will make sure to keep you safe, and you've got a recipe for great fun! Drive an ATV or UTV. UTVs are available in 2 or 4 seats and ATVs also fit 2. No experience needed and gear provided. Tours available from 4 to 8 hours. The 8-hr Glacier Tour comes with lunch on the moraine. Shuttle service available form Anchorage. Explore Alaska like an Alaskan!

In my humble opinion, the Palmer Alaska Visitor Information Center and Museum, located at 723 S. Valley Way, East down Evergreen Avenue and across the railway tracks on your right here in Palmer, Alaska, should be the Number One Attraction in Palmer. It is both a Visitor Information Center and a Museum. In fact on Google Maps, it is called the Palmer Museum of History and Art. The docent I spoke with, Judy, was above and beyond the norm as to knowledge of Palmer and the surrounding area and willingness to assist each and every visitor who approached her. Parking was ample and I was there on the second day of the annual Alaska State Fair. In addition to the fixed exhibits, there is a movie about the history of the area and a plethora of hand-out brochures. One could spend several hours here but I was well satisfied with a full hour visit. This is a fascinating, DO-NOT-MISS attraction in my opinion.
