Grand Knik Landing Tour

 This tour is a staff favorite, offering an unforgettable experience that combines three activities for an up-close look at Alaska’s stunning glacier landscape. Fly by helicopter to Lake George Glacier, where you'll witness towering ice walls calving truck-sized chunks and have time to explore and capture epic photos. 

 Your second landing takes you to a high alpine meadow with breathtaking views of the Knik, Colony, and Cataract Glaciers. Along the way, you’ll likely spot wildlife such as bears, moose, and Dall sheep roaming the hillsides. 

 The final stop of your adventure lands you on the Knik Glacier, where you’ll explore vibrant blue melt pools and learn about the vital role glaciers play in our world. Spend another half hour walking on the ice, sipping fresh glacier water, and soaking in a truly unforgettable experience. 

 A scenic helicopter flight, a thrilling dogsled ride, and an unforgettable glacier landing. Depart from Alaska Glacier Lodge and soar above stunning ice fields before landing on a remote snowfield high in the mountains. There, a team of sled dogs and their mushers greet you for a once-in-a-lifetime experience on real snow—yes, even in the middle of summer! 

 Spend a full hour with the Alaskan huskies that call this glacier home during the summer months. Enjoy a 2-mile dogsled ride through the snow-covered terrain—stand on the runners and mush your own team, or relax and let a professional musher guide the sled. After the ride, get to know the dogs, hear incredible stories of 1,000-mile races, meet the puppies, and take memorable photos with your favorite canine athletes. 

 Your adventure continues as the helicopter whisks you down to the lower glacier for a second landing. Here, you’ll explore vibrant blue melt pools, fascinating crevasses, and unique glacial formations alongside your pilot/guide. To keep you safe and dry, we provide overboots and crampons, making this hands-on glacier exploration as comfortable as it is breathtaking.
