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

Matanuska Glacier

Your day will start with a magnificent scenic drive along the Glenn Highway with stunning mountain vistas and plenty of time for photo stops. Next we will drive to the toe of the glacier to dawn our ice cleats and begin exploring the glacier by foot. Each day is unique due to the dynamic nature of the glacier. We generally spend two hours and walk three miles on the ice. After exploring the glacier we will have lunch at a local eatery with stunning views of the glacier and surrounding scenery. Each tour will be customized to suit your groups interest. This is a once in a lifetime bucket list opportunity to explore glacial ice!

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!
