Heading out of Anchorage on our way home we stopped by Matanuska Glacier. They let you climb out over the glacier, unsupervised! Really freaking walking around here hearing the melt and looking down through ice. And totally awesome!
I've heard people say that the stretch of the Alaska Hwy from Tok to Whitehorse is very bad with frost heaves. I will be interested in seeing what you think of that part and how it compares to the Cassiar. We still haven't decided if we will go that route.
Woah - cool glacier! What is the air temp like?
ReplyDeleteWe will be sure to check out Matanuska.
