WELCOME TO ALASKA

we are so excited to see you

Flying In

If you’re flying in, we recommend arriving through Anchorage (ANC). The venue is about 1 hour and 20 minutes from the airport, depending on traffic and weather.

Where to Stay

We recommend booking accommodations between Palmer and Sutton, as Sutton is more remote with very limited amenities. If you have a camping pass (8/8 eve), please see "camping pass holders". section.

Great areas to look for lodging:

  • Palmer (closest with real amenities; groceries, restaurants, gas)

  • Butte / Knik River (scenic Airbnb cabins)

  • Chickaloon (rustic, quiet, mountain views)

  • Sutton (closest to the venue but very limited services)

There are some beautiful AirBnb’s in the area!

Stores we recommend in Palmer:

  • Fred Meyer (one-stop shop)

  • Carrs/Safeway

  • Three Bears Alaska (groceries + outdoor gear)

About the Drive

The drive from Anchorage to Sutton is scenic but rural:

  • Cell service becomes spotty after Palmer

  • Fill up your gas tank in Palmer or before leaving Anchorage

  • Watch for moose along the highway!

  • Expect winding mountain roads past the river
