Overview

The Knik Glacier off-roading and hiking tour stands out because it combines two adventures in one—an exciting ride through true Alaskan wilderness in a specially modified Jeep, followed by an up-close hike to one of the state’s most dynamic and impressive glaciers. Unlike crowded trails elsewhere, the Knik area is remote, quiet, and constantly changing, with shifting icebergs, bright blue melt pools, and dramatic mountain views that make every visit unique. Guests get the thrill of rugged off-road travel, the beauty of glacier trekking, and unforgettable photo opportunities—all without needing technical skills—creating an authentic, immersive Alaska experience you won’t find on other tours.

    Knik-Fairview

    The Knik Glacier offers one of Alaska’s most spectacular wilderness experiences. After an exciting off-road ride to the trailhead, we set out on foot across open tundra, braided riverbeds, and glacial moraine. The landscape shifts with every step—towering ice walls, deep blue crevasses, drifting icebergs, and the echoing crack of moving ice.This hike is moderately challenging but incredibly rewarding. Along the way, you’ll walk close to ancient ice that’s thousands of years old, feel the cool glacier breeze, and see colors of blue you didn’t know existed. The closer we get, the more dramatic the scenery becomes: shimmering ice fields, crystal-clear melt pools, and panoramic mountain views.It’s not just a hike—it’s an immersion into Alaska’s raw, powerful nature. Perfect for adventure seekers and anyone wanting a front-row look at one of the state’s most impressive glaciers.
