From Anchorage you take a breathtaking 1-hour drive to Girdwood, following Turnagain Arm. Once in Girdwood you will have the opportunity to hike on a glacier! The Alyeska Glacier is nestled in Glacier Bowl of the Chugach Mountains.

At the Glaciers’ edge we gear up with climbing harnesses, ropes and/or crampons, over-boots to travel out onto the glacier itself.
