Highlights

• See Matanuska Glacier, the largest glacier you can reach by vehicle • Walk on the ice with professional guidance • Hike the mountain range for 2 hours

Itinerary

In the morning, depart by car from your hotel and travel to Matanuska Glacier, where you’ll take a walk on the glacier (about 2 hours) led by a professional guide. The Matanuska Glacier, Alaska's largest accessible glacier, covers an entire valley. Winding north from the Chugach Mountains to the Glen Highway, it is the most popular roadside attraction between Anchorage and Glenallen. About 10,000 years ago, the Matanuska Glacier began to retreat to its present position, and has not changed significantly in nearly two decades. It is ideal for glacier hiking as it tends to be sunnier than the surrounding area in winter. Reminder: Please be sure to wear anti-skid and warm shoes. Please be sure to comply with the guidance requirements during the hike and sign the disclaimer required by the park management office.
Tips
  • Please be sure to wear anti-skid and warm shoes.
  • Please be sure to comply with the guidance requirements during the hike and sign the disclaimer required by the park management office.
