This was a fantastic experience that my husband and I had. The glacier was amazing and beautiful. We learned a lot from our informative guide. I was disappointed we didn’t get to hike to the ice...

STUNNING, even in the winter. You have to take a guided tour, but they have special pricing for Alaskan residents and military. It gets super cold out there on the glacier though, so dress accordingly. I wish you could explore it all on your own, but it’d be pretty dangerous. It’s worth the tour though.

It’s expensive but well worth it. Our tour guide, Maggie, was very knowledgeable and made the 2.5 hour tour so fun. Lots of fun photo opportunities and the information you’ll learn about the glacier is incredible. Definitely recommend!!
