The Matanuska Glacier

The Matanuska Glacier is one of the few Alaskan glaciers accessible by car. It is located 2 hours NE of Anchorage at Mile 102 of the Glenn Highway. With just a short hike, you can be standing on an enormous river of ice, exploring the natural wonders of the majestic glacier.

Glacier hiking is an all weather activity. However, when the weather is bad in and around Anchorage, it is often sunny on the glacier. This is due to a phenomena in which the cold air off the glacier forces the warm valley air upward and into the surrounding peaks causing a weather hole. So come to the sunny Matanuska Glacier for an unforgettable experience.

Ice Climbing is a great team building activity or just a fun day out for your group. Ask about special group rates for corporate teams, students, scouts and other organizations.
