Matanuska Glacier is a 27-mile long glacier that is about an hour and a half north of Anchorage. The glacier is the largest of its kind that is accessible by car in the USA. My dad and I set out to hike on the glacier with a guided tour in June 2021. We had a blast learning about the science behind glaciers and getting to explore such a beautiful area with microspikes. Be sure to visit if you are in the area, and let me know what you think in the comments

Awesome video. Loved it! When we had been there in 2019, there was a self guided tour as well which was lot more fun than the guided tour we took the previous day. In Guided tour they really showed us very limited area in the glacier. If you go on a self guided tour you can explore much more and even see the ice caves and will not be restricted by your tour guide. But you have to be careful on self guided tour though.

F do Id the guide talk about glacial flour, the murky and milky appearance of the glacial water? I love the blue tinge to glaciers and glacier fed waters like in glsvier national park. What a glorious hike. How awesome that you got to see a moose! Amazing!

I was just here last week! We did the Lion's Head Hike instead of going onto the actual glacier though. The trail is a bit informal, but the views into the valley are stunning. Great video, it's cool to see the glacier up close like that.

Once in a lifetime experience and incredible value for money too. The fact that there was a child on the tour with you, shows how accessible it can be for all ages. Great footage, great video, thank you for sharing.

Great clip! I saw this glacier during a visit in 2012 but only from the observation point you mentioned at the end of your clip. Would have loved to have had the experience of actually hiking it. Perhaps next time.

Man I love your videos. I wish my dad was alive so we couldve shared in our own explorations but hopefully my son and I will get the chance too! Alaska looks amazing!

Just a reminder. The glacier isnt privately owned, the access road you used us. And the tour company leases that private drive and access. But Beautiful none the less.

Oh. Wow. Absolutely stunning! Beautiful filming as always. Not sure how Id do on ice, I can fall on smooth, dry pavement! Loved watching this.
