“Advanced Trek Far Exceeded My Expectations
We went on the Advanced Trek of Matanuska Glacier with Scott. The entire experience exceeded my expectations. Scott was very safety conscious, informative, and worked well with the team which made for a very enjoyable and rewarding day. The moderate physical activity was well worth it. I highly recommend this trek with MICA Guides.”
No experience is needed for this trip; however, you should be able to walk at a brisk pace and be comfortable scrambling over uneven terrain. The Advanced Trek offers great photo opportunities and the chance to explore more of the glacier with a smaller group and one of our most experienced guides. You may even get to try rappelling or ascending ice slopes on fixed lines. This trip does not include ice climbing. If you would really like to learn ice climbing and challenge yourself on some vertical walls try out our Ice Climbing trip.
Note: All trip times are approximate and include travel to and from the glacier
*Our Advanced Trek fee does not include the Glacier Park Access Fee, which must be paid upon Check In at the MICA Base. The current fee is $25 per person but is subject to change; we have no control over this access fee.*
No experience needed. Minimum age: 12 years.
