Hotel pickup by Lori, with previous day confirmation, much appreciated. Beautiful scenic ride out to the glacier, with restroom/snack stop midway there. At the Glacier gift shop/entrance another restroom break is offered, and with a chance to add layers of clothes if needed. Use this restroom break, as there are no facilities during the hike. Dress in layers, and wear water proof hiking boots and a snow type jacket. Dress for the cold/wet. You are provided a helmet, ice cleats for your boots and a professional guide to keep you safe along the trail. It’s a long hike, and it’s cold/wet, so come prepared. Hike was awesome!!! Afterwards, lunch (at your expense) at a local grill, was a nice touch. Drive back, another stop made again at the halfway point. Progressional run tour. Highly recommend this tour.

A great mini trek around the terminus of the glacier. Not a difficult circuit. Beautiful views! Helpful guides.

Had such an amazing time visiting the Matanuska Glacier. Our guide, Lori, had so much information not only about our day hike but the state of Alaska as well. Nick, the glacier guide was friendly and informative as well. I will highly recommend this to others. Thank y'all!
