Our lodge is located a short 12 miles from access to the Matanuska Glacier. You can spend a few hours exploring the glacier or take a guided hike to see the glacier's wondrous features. Guided glacier hiking gets you out on the ice, for a unique Alaska experience. We recommend MICA Guides for glacier hiking or ice-climbing, no experience is necessary. |
 Sheep Mountain is a shutterbug's paradise with breath-taking views of Lion's Head, the Matanuska River Valley and the lofty, rocky crags of the Talkeetna and Chugach Mountains.
