Chugach State Park

Experiencing a sunset at Matanuska Glacier is a breathtaking spectacle.

The surrounding Chugach Mountains are bathed in hues of orange and pink, creating a stunning contrast against the pristine white ice. The serene ambiance, coupled with the majestic beauty of the glacier and its environs, offers an unforgettable conclusion to the day.

Matanuska Valley

As you approach the glacier, the landscape opens up to reveal panoramic views of the sprawling ice field, a 27-mile-long river of ice flowing from the Chugach Mountains. The interplay of light and shadow on the rugged mountain faces and the glacier's icy expanse creates a mesmerizing tableau, making the drive to Matanuska Glacier a journey through some of Alaska's most breathtaking scenery.
