Overview
The Matanuska Glacier is the largest and most magnificent glacier in Alaska with road access. We will drive you to within about 1/2 mile of the face of the glacier, where we'll start our hike. We'll be hiking on the glacier for two to two and a half hours, and walk about 2 to 3 miles. There is little elevation change, and the hike difficulty is rated as moderate.
The glacier is about a two-hour drive from Anchorage. We will stop about half way there for a restroom break, where you will also have the opportunity to purchase coffee and whatever you'd like to have to eat while we're out. Bottled water is provided.
What's Included
- Available at our half-way stop in the morning.
- Use of Microspikes for traction while on the glacier.
- Pictures from your guide. Any photos we take will be made available to you free of charge.
- Please be prepared to add a gratuity for your glacier guide if he or she provides great service.
- We'll stop on our way to the glacier, where guests will be able to purchase lunch. There is a cooler onboard the van to keep food fresh while we're on the glacier.
