MICA Guides Ice Falls Trek on the Matanuska Glacier We chose the 3-hour tour, which may have been a bit too long/repetitive, but the alternate 1.5 hour tour would have been too short, I think. We paid $70 per person, plus a $15 per person glacier access fee (all paid right to MICA using a credit card). They outfitted us... more

August22 2008 Had a fabulous vacation in Alaska. The only sour note was a glacier trek with MICA Guides. I believe the ice trek has great potential but our experience was not good. The day of our trek had light rain and it was only my wife and I on the trek. The guide started by telling us the ice... more

If you are planning a trip to Alaska the matanuska glacier is an experience not to be missed. MICA guides is about two and half hours drive from Anchorage but the drive is well worth it.

While the glacier is free to visit and is part of an Alaskan state preserve, there is... more

I haven't traveled the highway since I arrived almost three years ago. Too many other places to visit I guess. If... more

This was an amazing experience. You head NE out of Palmer for about an hour and a half of breathtaking scenery to get to this glacier, that's pretty much in the middle of nowhere. You can see the glacier spilling into the valley from a far distance. We used a tour company called MICA guides that will take you out... more

What a great time we had on our own. Definately need boots if you are going there. My family had a ball. It was relatively safe as long as you don't play around too much. Great views and definatly an original experience. might of got more out of it if we had a guide but we like to do things... more
