Take in breathtaking views of the ice, surrounding mountains, and meltwater streams as you journey through the ever-changing landscapes of Matanuska on this guided walking tour from Glacier View.
Join the pioneers of Matanuska Glacier tours, with over 30 years of experience, and explore the breathtaking beauty of one of Alaska’s most accessible glaciers on foot with NOVA’s renowned Glacier Tour! Get equipped with all the necessary gear before being transported by vehicle to the glacier’s terminus at the park’s edge.
Begin your adventure with a full gear outfitting, then enjoy a comfortable ride as you’re transported by vehicle to the glacier’s terminus at the park’s edge. From there, your expert guide will lead you across the rugged rock fields of the terminal moraine and into the stunning 'Ice Falls' area of the Matanuska Glacier.
Marvel at the striking spire formations (seracs) as the glacier’s dense ice cascades over the submerged rock below, creating natural towers. At the base of the Ice Falls, enjoy views of a pristine lake—the source of the powerful Matanuska River flowing downstream.
As you explore, your guide will share fascinating insights about glacier formation, the surrounding environment, and the dynamic geology that shapes this incredible landscape. Along the way, you may encounter deep crevasses, flowing moulins, and an ever-changing terrain. Don’t forget to hydrate—there’s even the chance to fill your bottle with fresh glacier water!
After your exploration of the glacier, you'll return to the starting point, having experienced the scale and geology of this stunning natural landscape. Be sure to stop by the on-site coffee shop to warm up and unwind after your adventure.
Please dress appropriately for the conditions. For more details, visit www.novalaska.com.
