Near the shores of Knik Arm in southern Alaska, the city of Wasilla is just an hour’s drive north of the city of Anchorage. Wasilla first began as a mining and fur-trapping village but as the southern city of Anchorage grew, so did Wasilla. Today, Wasilla is considered part of the Anchorage metropolitan area. In fact, until 2007, Wasilla even had the honor of serving as the restart location for the Iditarod Race whenever Anchorage didn’t receive enough snowfall. Though it may be a small town in America’s last frontier, choosing to rent an RV in Wasilla will open up another side of this great, wild state.
