Convention Artwork
 

Across from Sheep Mountain
Lynn Brautigam Boots
 

Across the road from Sheep Mountain Lodge and down the Glenn Highway there is a road pullout with a commanding view of the valley below and in the distance a series of mountains and glaciers. This road has some of the most spectacular vistas in Alaska and one we always recommend it to visitors and locals alike as it is not as traveled as the Parks highway. Anytime is a great time to travel this way but my favorite time is in late July with the fireweed blooming. Enjoy our Alaska and appreciate what we have.
