All our treks and climbs invite you to navigate fascinating, uneven ice and rock landscapes with rolling ups and downs. We make sure there’s time to capture photos and satisfy your curiosity as you learn about the wonders of the glacier along the way.

Ice Fall Trek:

Our most popular and best-value trekking option. If you can walk at a very moderate pace for about 3 hours, this is the trip for you.

Advanced Trek:

This is your opportunity to go further and faster in a smaller group. You will encounter more obstacles on this trip, so a moderate level of fitness is required. Your Guide will “tie you in” using a harness and rope system to allow you to get a closer look at crevasses, moulins, and other exciting features. This trip involves scrambling over steep terrain.

Ice Climbing:

An excellent trip for the adventurous! While a decent level of fitness and agility is needed, no experience is necessary; this sport relies as much on technique as it does on strength. Our climbing trips are rigged as “top rope,” which means that if you can’t complete a climb, you will not fall behind the rest of the group. To reach some of the best climbing on the Matanuska, expect to hike about an hour over uneven terrain to reach the climbing site. Climbing is an adrenaline sport; expect to be exposed to heights. You will always be roped in with a professional guide, but if you are not a fan of heights, this may not be the trip for you. This is the most difficult of our trips.

Your Responsibilities:

All participants on our trips must follow our procedures and sign a waiver. Only parents or legal guardians may sign for minors.

We do not take infants on any of our trips under any conditions (backpacks, strollers, or carried in arms).

Please call us in advance if you are pregnant.
