MATANUSKA GLACIER: ADVENTURE TREK – Anchorage, Alaska

EXPERIENCE

There is no experience necessary, but this is one of the longest and most intense days we offer on the glacier and requires a certain level of physical capabilities. Each participant must be able to hike at least 6+ miles comfortably navigating on uneven ground or terrain that s challenging with sometimes steep inclines to enjoy this trek to the fullest. This adventure takes physical hikers out beyond the main terminus Ice Falls area to the heart of the Matanuska Glacier and beyond the more frequented areas. Traveling back though the frozen ancient world of ice, exploring out where the more unique features are located and harder to access. The Adventure Trek is highly tailored with a guide to client ratio of 1:4 and customized by our professional guides to the group s physical abilities and desires.

The Matanuska Glacier is a massive 26-mile long advancing valley glacier located in the rugged Chugach mountains just 100 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska. The glacier is alive with unique features coming and going transforming the landscape as the summer goes by. With the geology being very active around the glacier its character really does change weekly. You never know what you re going to get to see with this ever evolving marvel of nature. Every day and every tour is a little different out on the ice. It s always a good idea to be prepared in Alaska. We recommend bringing a personal backpack on the tour to store items such as raincoats, extra layers, snacks, cameras, sunglasses, hats, gloves, water bottles for drinking glacier water or anything else you would like to bring on the tour.
