Пригоди Великої землі

Льодовик Матануска є одним із головних напрямків Аляски.

Льодовик Матануска

Маючи 27 миль завдовжки та 4 милі завширшки, це найбільший льодовик Аляски, до якого можна дістатися дорогою. Він також може похвалитися одним із найдоступніших місць для прогулянок серед усіх льодовиків на Алясці. Подивуйтеся льоду, який утворився 10 000 років тому високо в горах Чугач. Ваш день розпочнеться з чудової мальовничої поїздки вздовж шосе Гленн із приголомшливими гірськими краєвидами та достатньо часу для фотозупинок. Далі ми під’їдемо до підніжжя льодовика, щоб надіти льодошипи та шоломи та почати досліджувати льодовик пішки. Кожен день унікальний завдяки динамічній природі льодовика. Зазвичай ми витрачаємо на лід дві години і ходимо три милі. Нарешті, ми зупинимося на обід у місцевій їдальні з приголомшливим видом на льодовик. Це унікальна можливість досліджувати льодовиковий лід, яка є лише разом у житті!

Palmer

Palmer is a city in and the borough seat of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska, located 42 miles (68 km) northeast of Anchorage on the Glenn Highway in the Matanuska Valley. It is the ninth-largest city in Alaska, and hosts the annual Alaska State Fair.

Matanuska Valley

The Matanuska River is a 75-mile (121 km) long river in Southcentral Alaska, flowing through a broad valley south of the Alaska Range known as the Matanuska Valley.

Matanuska Glacier

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 10,000 years ago high in the Chugach Mountains. 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 helmets to 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. Finally, we will stop for lunch at a local eatery with stunning views of the glacier. This is a once in a lifetime bucket list opportunity to explore glacial ice!

This is an amazing experience! Our tour guide, Bill, was knowledgeable, kind, courteous, and helpful. We were so lucky to have a private tour on a sunny day. It reminded me of spring skiing day. It was nice to have lunch with a view and yummy pie.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your kind words! We are so happy to hear that you had an awesome day at the glacier. Nothing like a day of spring skiing... or glacier trekking!

I can’t tell you how grateful I feel for booking this tour last minute. I was incredibly fortunate to have spent a handful of days in Alaska and wanted to make the most of my trip, rain or shine by enjoying any activity that was still being offered in the month of Oct. This tour operator was beyond professional and they provided me with helpful information about what to wear, pack and most importantly what to expect throughout the tour. Our tour operator Bill was simply outstanding. He shared with us a little bit of Alaskan history and made sure that we were comfortable on the ice whether it was just by lending a hand to avoid one of us slipping, playing personal photographer, and allowing us to enjoy the glacier without feeling rushed. The highlight of our trip, needless to say was Matanuska itself, my zen, inspiration and everlasting memory. I felt like a million bucks since our group of three got to enjoy the glacier all too ourselves. Our three mile trek flew by due to the beautiful scenery. Following our trek on the ice, we went to lunch at a small and quaint lodge where a variety of burgers, sandwiches and salads were on the menu. I highly recommend the salmon patty sandwich with the side mixed green salad with apple Dijon vinaigrette. Absolutely yummy and a perfectly healthy meal. Thank you Greatlands for guaranteeing to operate a tour with bare minimum people, rain or shine! I couldn’t have experienced this without you all.

Stopped by for an impromptu walk along the Matanuska Glacier. Sunny skies. It was a guided tour, (that’s all they allow now) for a couple hours. Drive down the gravel road into the valley to reach the check-in, then another couple miles to where you start the tour. The guide was great, patient, had a lot of good info without talking continuously. Allowed time to just look around, take pictures, etc. They provided everything we needed, sticks, hard hat. Proper footwear is really important. Wandering around the glacier for a couple of hours was a blast, so much better than a just a stop and look. The guide took really good care of us, making sure we were safe, steady, etc. Everyone was really nice and helpful. Up near the top of our list of favorite excursions during our vacation. (side notes – the drive from Glennallen to the Glacier on a sunny morning was grand, the nearby restaurant recommended by our guide was a delight. )
