The Matanuska Glacier is one of Alaska's premiere destinations. Ā At 27 miles long and 4 miles wide it is Alaska's largest glacier accessible by road. Ā It also is boasts one of the most accessible areas to walk on of any glacier in Alaska. Ā Marvel at ice that formed thousands of years ago high in the Chugach Mountains.

I took this hike solo while my husband was on a work trip, I am so glad I did! So convenient , they pick you up and drop you off at your hotel. Bill was an amazing guide with tremendous knowledge of the area and glacier. It was a gorgeous day with new snowfall. The glacier is breathtaking, it felt like you were on a different planet. The silence and serenity is indescribable, breathtaking! The restaurant for lunch was great! I would highly recommend this tour!
