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 phenomenon in which the cold air of 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. *Trip Highlights: - A truly Alaskan Adventure on the Matanuska Glacier. - Discover the amazing Blue Ice, Crevasses, and other unique formations. - Stand on a high-point with amazing views of the great Ice Fall. - Stand on 1,000-year-old Ice. - This is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
