Routing
Palmer vs Wasilla
Mat-Su corridor anchors — similar road weather, different services density. Routing only.
What changes the decision
- Both: Glenn / Parks access and Anchorage commute patterns dominate day-to-day travel.
- Winter: ice fog and highway maintenance vary by storm track — check 511.
- Outdoor access: Chugach and Mat-Su trailheads — verify land manager rules.
