This was such an amazing experience. The sights were unreal!!! If you’re debating it like I was, please make sure to do this! I do very moderate exercise and was able to do the entire trip effortlessly. I also have asthma and was worried in general about altitude but that is not a problem whatsoever. It’s a brisk walk at the most. Make sure to bring a camera. Molly was an excellent instructor as well. Thank you all for the hospitality! Dan was our driver and he literally had not steered us wrong (pun intended).

This was a really good...

Dan from White Raven was fantastic! He shared interesting details about living in Alaska and shared great tips while we traveled to Matanuska glacier. The views from the drive alone were overwhelmingly beautiful. The glacier experience was top notch. Molly was a fantastic guide and was excited to share the beauty of the glacier with us. The glacier was covered in fresh snow and was stunning. We were on the glacier for about 2 hours and we covered about 2.5 miles overall. Old Bear Honey was really fun. He has an eclectic offering of local flora flavored wines, meads, honeys and vinegars. He was a blast to speak with and he loved to share what he had made himself. We loved the visit as a nice way to wrap up the day. We would give the whole experience ratings more stars if it was possible.
