What To Expect

Along the way, your knowledgeable guide will narrate the journey, sharing fascinating insights about the area. Feel free to ask questions or request photo stops as you take in the Alaskan wilderness.
Once you arrive, prepare for an unforgettable 1.5 to 2-hour guided hike on the Matanuska Glacier, a massive 27-mile river of ancient ice. You'll explore its stunning ice formations, awe-inspiring blue ice, deep crevasses, and serene meltwater pools. This glacier, nestled in the Matanuska Valley, is a living testament to thousands of years of natural history, and you'll have the chance to experience its raw beauty up close.
