"We did the full day Advanced Glacier Trek with Decker on the Matanuska Glacier. We were blessed with a beautiful day and an adventurous pair of co-trekkers. We pressed far on the ice after getting beyond the moraine at the face of the glacier. We found gorgeous glacial pools and canyons. It was stunning."
