Ski & Snow in Anchorage

Glacier treks make for great outdoor adventures but can feel rushed if they are only a few hours long. This trekking experience at Matanuska Glacier - a local favorite, and one of the few vehicle-accessible glaciers near Anchorage - takes a full day, which leaves plenty of time to explore blue meltwater pools, ice formations, and crevasses.

Embark on a moderate, 2-hour hike in Matanuska-Susitna Valley on this full-day tour from Anchorage. During your trek along Matanuska Glacier, pass dramatic blue meltwater pools and ice formations. Capture incredible views of the Alaska Range, the Talkeetna Mountains and the Chugach Mountains, and gain insight into the local geology from a seasoned guide. Finish the hike with a relaxing Alaskan lunch overlooking the glacier. This Matanuska glacier hike comes with gear, safety equipment and hotel transport.
