Alaska’s Finest Tours & Adventures: Matanuska Glacier Hike

Trek Ancient Ice, Hear Its Stories

Strap on crampons and step onto the legendary Matanuska Glacier, where every crevasse whispers tales of Alaska’s past. This full-day journey from Anchorage, led by their 100% Native Alaskan-owned team, blends adventure with the heritage that shapes this land.

A Scenic Path North

Leave Anchorage behind for a 2-hour drive through awe-inspiring landscapes. Snow draped Chugach Mountains rise in the distance, the Palmer Hay Flats stretch wide (keep an eye out for moose!), and the Matanuska River murmurs alongside. Your guide, steeped in Alaskan tradition, shares stories as you roll toward the glacier, with a stop in Palmer to grab a bite or enjoy your packed lunch.

Walk the Ice, Feel the Pulse

Outfitted with a helmet and crampons, you’ll explore the glacier’s blue heart for 1.5 to 2 hours. Marvel at ice caves, crevasses, and the ever-shifting beauty of this ancient wonder, all while your guide reveals its secrets. The ice crackles beneath your feet, a living testament to nature’s power. No two trips are alike, calling you back for more.
