D1Matanuska Glacier Hiking Experience

In the morning, after meeting in the hotel lobby, you'll travel by car to Matanuska Glacier for a glacier hike (approximately two hours) led by a professional guide . Matanuska Glacier is Alaska's largest accessible glacier. Classified as a valley glacier, it flows through the valley like a river, flowing north from the Chugach Mountains to the Glen Highway. It's a popular destination between Anchorage and Glennallen. Join your guide as you journey across this 10,000-year-old glacier, admiring the endless expanse of pure white and the azure ice caves carved by the glacier. Due to its valley glacier-like topography, Matanuska Glacier enjoys more sunny weather in winter than surrounding areas, making it a popular choice for glacier hikers. The glacier and Sheep Mountain create one of the most breathtaking and stunning scenery in Alaska.

If you need to fly out of Anchorage on the day of your trip, please arrange a flight departing after 22:00 to avoid the risk of missing your flight.

Tips:

1. It is recommended to wear a warm down jacket, velvet jacket, hat, scarf, anti-ski boots, sunglasses, etc. , pay attention to the safety of your feet.

2. Be sure to comply with the guide requirements during the walk and sign the disclaimer required by the Park Service.
