What an excellent Glacier hike. Cheyenne picked us up from the designated hotel and off we went. We drove approximately 2 hr north to the Matanuska Glacier. After getting a 2nd guide and a short safety breifing off we went. Hiking on the glacier was definitely a thrill. With our shoe crampons our footing was secure. We learned about types of ice and what to watch out for, learning about; The formation, Crevasse, Moraine, Ablation and a Moulin (A hole or tube in a glacier where water flows, making a loud, roaring noise). One of the best parts was drinking super clean, glacier water. In addition to traching us abour glaciers, they always kept out safety at the forefront. (One guide leading and one at the rear, watching over us) I never felt we were an any unsafe areas. I want to thank Cheyenne and the other guide (didn't get her name) for an excellent day. -steve

This is a once in a lifetime experience. I appreciate our driver/guide David who made it a pleasant tour. David picked me up on time and talked a lot about the local things on the way to Matanuska Glacier. He is friendly and knowledgeable. During the hike on glacier, our guide Lucas helped me when I needed since it’s a little slippery on a rainy day. I also learned some interesting facts about glacier from him. It was definitely an amazing experience and a perfect ending of my last day in Alaska!

The most incredible experience during our family visit to Banff National Park! Our guides Jack and Sara were very knowledgeable and friendly. We had an amazing hike exploring on the Athabasca Glacier. There's so much to see and to learn which made this an unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience for us. Thank you so much, Rockaboo!
