Directions to MICA Guides:
Google Maps is accurate with our physical locations, but driving times often do not account for road construction and other factors.
Do not rely on GPS to get to our location, many guests in the past have unfortunately missed their trips relying on this method.
Directions from Anchorage:
Take the Glenn Hwy (Route 1) NORTH out of the city towards Glennallen/Palmer.
At the Glenn Highway/Parks Highway junction (mile 35) take the PALMER exit on your right to stay on the Glenn Hwy heading towards
Palmer **You must exit the 4-Lane highway to stay on the Glenn Highway. – Do NOT go towards Wasilla.
Continue on the Glenn Hwy through Palmer (mile 42), Sutton (mile 62) and Chickaloon (Mile 76) then keep driving another 20+ miles
Follow our directions and look for the small green “Mileposts” on the side of the road. MICA Guides is at Milepost 102.5.

**Driving times may vary greatly. The times listed are approximations. Summer is road construction season with projects changing often! Mid-day tours will often see more traffic than early tours. Plan plenty of time to enjoy the drive. We would much rather you show up early than late, tours usually can not wait for late arrivals. If you arrive early, you can enjoy an espresso or ice cream with a great view at MICA Mocha.
We are in Glacier View. Although correct in our physical location, many maps will display “Sutton-Alpine” or “Chickaloon” as our location city instead of our community of “Glacier View”. This is only because the closest US Post Office location is in Sutton, with a small outpost in Chickaloon.
If you are planning accommodation before or after your glacier adventure, please know that the town of Sutton is approximately 40 miles or about 1 hour south of our physical location.
