Outstanding view on the drive to and from the glacier but I recommend a hat for the full windowed roof of the van!! The sun can shine bright! The hike itself was stunning and interesting, the guide was engaging and sweet and helpful. Everyone was friendly and the experience as a whole was wonderful and memorable. I highly recommend.

Drive from Anchorage to Matanuska glacier was 2 hours each way (4 hours total on the road in a day). Our driver was extremely nice/polite…..on time to pick us up and safe on the road but his English was difficult to understand and it was a barrier for us to know the plan of our day. We were also hoping that our driver could talk about Alaska-history/landmarks, etc. nothing was said about Alaska. Our guide Petra on the Glacier was SUPERIOR.
