Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Matanuska Glacier hike? I want to take my 10-year-old son.

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but they recommend kids be at least 8 for safety reasons. It's a family-friendly hike, but just keep in mind the physical demands. If your son is active and has a good attitude about outdoor activities, he should be fine! Just make sure to talk to the guide beforehand.

Q: What should I wear for the glacier hike? Are the provided jackets warm enough?

A: Definitely dress in layers! The jackets they provide are good for general warmth, but I’d recommend wearing a thermal base layer underneath. Also, bring waterproof pants just in case—things can get wet out there! Good shoes are a must too; the Yaktrax they give you help with traction on the ice.

Q: Can this experience be rescheduled if the weather is bad?

A: Yes! If the weather looks harsh, they usually contact you to reschedule. They prioritize safety, so don’t worry about that. Just make sure to check your email the day before the hike for any updates. It’s worth it to wait for good weather!

Looking for a unique gift? Just did the Matanuska Glacier hike!

I just got back from the Matanuska Glacier hike and wow, it was amazing! The guides are super knowledgeable and the drive from Anchorage is beautiful. They provide jackets, snacks, and all the gear you need. I took my sister for her birthday, and it was such a memorable experience. Highly recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves adventure!

Thinking of giving the glacier hike as a gift, any tips?

I’m considering gifting the Matanuska Glacier hike to my husband for our anniversary. He loves outdoors but hasn’t done much hiking on ice. Should I go for it or is it better for more experienced hikers? Any tips would be appreciated!
