Overview

Today we will go to Matanuska Glacier and walk on the ice with professional guidance! It is sunny around the area and a MUST-GO place for travelers. The weather in Matanuska Glacier is more favorable than its nearby cities because there is a weather hole that cold air from the glacier forces the warm air up to the mountain peaks. We will back to Anchorage hotel at around 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm. Please be sure to wear anti-skid and warm shoes and comply with the guidance requirements during the hike and sign the disclaimer required by the park management office.
