A section of this magnificent range can be seen from Delta Junction. Mt. Hayes, one of the tallest of the Alaska Range mountains, rising to 13,832 feet at the head of the Hayes Glacier, is 43 miles south west of Delta. If you enjoy the outdoors, Delta Junction is the place to be. Donnelly Dome, with an elevation of 3,910 ft., is 18 miles south, just off the Richardson Highway. The climb to the top is not easy, but has been made by many and offers a breathtaking view.
Fish are abundant in the area and charters are available.
Farming has developed as an industry in the past 20 years, due to the ideal growing conditions in the Interior of Alaska. Take part in a guided tour of some of these farms. A variety of different events are held throughout the year. The Festival of Lights is an annual event during the month of February. A parade, craft shows, polar dunking event, special meals, ice carvings and a fireworks display help get rid of cabin fever.
