One of Talkeetna’s iconic stops is celebrating a birthday on Friday! Mountain High Pizza Pie has been dishing up the best slices for 23 years.

Mountain High Pizza Pie turns 23 tomorrow, May 15. We always have a Party. This year, the party is on the date we opened in 2003. Don’t miss the Party and do not miss this band. Hot Buttered Rum is delightfully entertaining. This show is Free❤️
Thanks for sticking with me

No need to be jealous of these kiddos! Gold panning in The Mat-Su is also "lodes" of fun for those of us who are still kids at heart.

Perhaps some of you have noticed the new visitor center being built along the Glenn Highway overlooking the Palmer Hay Flats. Well, it's almost done! In May we'll begin the interior programming installations that will shape and enhance the visitor experience. Once that is complete, we'll announce the June date when we'll open our doors. You can sign up for The Mat-Su's monthly e-newsletter to make sure you don't miss it.

Awesome shot shared with us by . The Knik Glacier is a wondrous sight to behold and it's hard to beat a front row seat like this one.
