Memorable Journey

I can’t say enough good things about this trip. The booking system worked seamlessly, customer service was outstanding, and the local guide was one of the best I’ve ever had—patient, knowledgeable, and fun. The itinerary was varied and well-paced, showing us the beauty of Alaska in the best possible way. This is exactly the type of tour I would recommend to friends and family.

Best Way to See Alaska

A dream come true for hiking enthusiasts! We ventured into places I never would’ve reached on my own. The hikes were well-balanced between effort and scenery. The Wrangell-St. Elias area was a personal favorite. Loved our group dynamic and how smoothly the tour ran.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre tours de Worthington Glacier

How do I access Worthington Glacier near Valdez, Alaska?

Worthington Glacier is accessible via the Richardson Highway, located about 30 miles east of Valdez. Pull off at the marked Thompson Pass overlook area. Use caution on icy surfaces and stay behind safety barriers. The glacier is visible from the roadside, with a short, steep trail leading to closer viewpoints—recommended only for experienced hikers with proper gear.

Is there an entrance fee to visit Worthington Glacier?

No, there is no entrance fee to view Worthington Glacier. The viewing area along the Richardson Highway is publicly accessible year-round at no cost. No facilities or services are provided, so pack out all trash, carry emergency supplies, and rely on mobile apps with offline maps, as cell service is limited.

What is the best time of year to visit Worthington Glacier?

The best time to visit is late spring to early fall (May–September) when road conditions are clear and daylight lasts up to 18 hours. Winter visits are possible but risky due to snow-covered roads, whiteout conditions, and avalanches in Thompson Pass. Always check Alaska DOT avalanche warnings and highway updates before traveling.

Can I walk on Worthington Glacier?

Walking on Worthington Glacier is dangerous and not recommended without a guide and glacier travel gear. The surface has hidden crevasses and unstable ice. The glacier is rapidly retreating due to climate change, increasing hazards. For safe glacier access, book a guided tour on more stable glaciers near Valdez instead.
