    Great experience! The road to the glacier was terrible. The walk was extremely muddy and there isn't a very clear path to take you onto the glacier. Once you get to it , it's an amazing experience.

    Bring crampons and do a self-guided hike along the glacier. I'm sure the guided tours are great but they're not not necessary to get out and explore.

    The Matanuska Glacier helped form the Mat-Su Valley, The valley is the fastest growing borough in Alaska and home to over 80,000 people.

    Don't do $100 tour in summer. You can go anywhere on the glacier on your own. Just make sure you have proper shoes.

    You have to walk a muddy up/down trail to get to the glacier......I was slipping and sliding before getting to ice! But my husband had zero issues and he was carrying a baby too! So idk...

    $20/person to get in, but damn worth it to walk on a big ice block!

    It cost us $15 per person to drive two miles down a private road to get to a parking lot. After that it was about a fifteen min hike to the glacier.
