What is drive time between Anchorage and Talkeetna? Thanks.

The figures I've seen range from 2:15 to 3 hours - but that is WITHOUT stops. I plan on lots of stops so am allotting LOTS more time! :)

Anchorage to Talkeetna is 113 miles--that's from the edge of Anchorage. So factor in how long it takes you to get to where you start counting the 113 miles...from the airport, which is the other side of Anchorage?...the time of day or night, the day of the week, road construction, stopping for scenery or wildlife...give yourself at least 3 hours to enjoy it and not feel rushed.

The Spur road is also a hotbed for speed traps. So heed limits, perhaps. :)

 

Also if continuing, north, think about stocking up on groceries/supplies. There are NO full service groceries past Wasilla, until Fairbanks.
