Matanuska River Valley

Our destination is the Matanuska Glacier, the largest accessible glacier in Alaska. The glacier winds down from the Chugach Mountains and is four miles wide at the terminus where it forms the Matanuska River. We camp at the base of the glacier for two nights at what many of our clients say is their favorite camping spot! The glacier is within walking distance and local guide services offer ice trekking and ice climbing trips.

This is one of the best places to experience a glacier up close.

These activities can generally be arranged throughout your trip with some of the finest local adventure tour companies in the state. Your guide will make all of the arrangements. Optional activities are merely suggestions and do not include all of the possibilities. All activities may not be available at the time of your tour. Prices listed here are subject to change and do not include local taxes or fees.
