THINGS TO DO
Alaska’s AdventurelandAll the amenities, All the Adventure YEAR-ROUND, None of the tiresome travel.
Palmer is town for the adventurer, for the history lover, for the food fanatic all available year-round. Not one Palmerite will tell you which season is their favorite. During summer you can hike in Hatcher Pass or go mountain biking on single track trails or go on a brewery up with 3 local breweries within a mile of each other. You can eat local produce at the peak of summer in our restaurants from produce grown on one of our 100s of local farms. You can tour these farms or go for an ATV adventure. You can dogsled, in the middle of the summer, on a glacier in Palmer. I’m not even making this up. Palmer, Alaska is just that cool.
During Winter you can backcountry ski and cross country ski on groomed trails. You can watch a parade in -10 degree weather with thousands of other people, or dress like Santa Clause and join over 50 others during the annual Santa Con. You can sleep under Northern Lights in peak season, and fat-tire bike to the local glacier before breakup. You can ice skate on frozen creeks and snowshoe in the backcountry.
During Spring you can watch the annual migrations of some of the most iconic and beautiful birds or fall in love with our over 20+ local greenhouses that entice visitors to fall in love, year after year, with gardening.
Some argue that fall is the best time of year to visit when all the root vegetables are coming off the farm and the leaves make the mountains look like blazing gold.
