The George Parks Highway Scenic Byway
Chulitna River Wayside, AK

Some of the largest glaciers in North America and the largest inland glaciers in Alaska are easily viewed from the Parks Highway. They flow from the high peaks and melt into the broad Chulitna Valley, giving the Chulitna River the milky waters and braided channels typical of a glacial stream. Glacier topography is characteristic of this region; the Parks Byway guides visitors over ground moraines and drumlin fields, and snakes around kettle lakes, eskers, and outwash plains.
