REQUIRED WINTER GEAR (October - March)
Winter weather can be VERY cold. Appropriate cold-weather gear is required. We recommend dressing for -20°F when temps are 10 to 30°F to allow for wind-chill and extended exposure. For temps below 10°F, please come with gear rated for -40°F. For recommendations (including places to rent gear), give us a call. We have some options available. There are also local places where gear can be rented.

Thick winter jacket, insulated bibs, warm winter boots, double layered wool socks, winter hat that will fit under your helmet and warm gloves/mittens are required.

Our heated-cab side-by-sides are perfect for enjoying frigid winter temperatures. Knik is a wind-blown valley that can usually accommodate wheelers year-round. If the snow is exceptionally deep, we may switch to snowmobiles.

Tour availability subject to change.

The Knik Glacier, located on the northern edge of the Chugach Mountains, is over 28 miles long and 5 miles across, making it one of Southcentral Alaska's greatest rivers of ice. This is our first choice tour for adventurers wanting an amazing and truly Alaskan experience.

The glacier lies at the end of a beautiful 25 mile long ATV trail where you’ll enjoy an Alaskan meal and hot drinks before the ride back. This amazing trail covers many different environments; wooded forest, sand dunes, dried riverbeds, meadows and a glacial lake. Along the way, you will see Knik Glacier, Knik River, Pioneer Peak, Jim Creek, Friday Creek, Metal Creek, and finally, iceberg-filled Lake George. The trail itself is well-defined yet rugged. You'll cross streams and other obstacles as our expert guides show you the way. Please be aware that Knik River is currently on the move. River conditions will dictate how close we get to the glacier.

Whether you're a thrill-seeker looking for adventure or a family group looking for a very fun day trip, this is the trail you want. The vast trail system here allows us to cater the experience to you and your current offroading skill level.

 As with all of our trails… be prepared! Dress warm, wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy and wear multiple layers (no open-toed shoes, rainboots are preferred). Helmets, goggles and gloves will be provided but feel free to bring your own.

When scheduling, please let us know and allow additional time if you need to make a flight or other scheduled connection.

Round-trip Anchorage shuttle service is available for groups of up to 5 people for $250 from June to August. For larger groups, please call before booking.
