Activity Level: Moderate
Designed for travelers in good health who are comfortable with light walking or hiking
ItineraryItinerary: Anchorage – Matanuska Glacier – Anchorage (about 7-8 hours round trip)
Details: In the morning, depart from 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.
If you need to depart Anchorage at the same day, please book your flight for no earlier than 10:00pm, to avoid risking missing your flight. (Starting from September 16, it is recommended that you book a flight after 21:00.)
Notes:
1) Please bring the fleece jacket, hat, scarf, boots with traction, sunglasses, etc.
2) To participate in the walk you must sign the disclaimer required by the park management office and comply with the guide’s instructions.
3) Helmets, anti-skid shoe chains, and other hiking equipment is provided for free.
