Alaska Glacier Trek

Matanuska Glacier is a must-see when you visit Alaska. It is about 4 miles wide and goes into the mountains you see behind it.

This is the only glacier you can access by car and see from the highway in Alaska.

We went during the winter time, so make sure you bundle up! If you have friends that live in Alaska, have them sponsor you when you go. It will be cheaper that way.

Other than that, go and see this beautiful living piece of nature! It constantly moves, and the cool thing is that if you listen close enough, you can hear it.
