Off Roading and Lunch at the Knik Glacier

Plan your trip with our off-road reports. You’ll find articles about everything from the best trail food to activities in Alaska that are worthy of the 49th State.

Adventure has a way of making everything better – including lunch!

There’s something about spending the morning navigating river crossings, cruising across wide-open gravel bars, and winding through the backcountry that builds up a serious appetite. Our Full-Day Tour will leave you hungry for adrenaline, incredible views, and tasty reindeer dogs.

Every ride is a little different depending on the season. Get ready for an adventure!

But no matter what the trail brings, one thing never changes: lunch at the glacier is worth the ride.

What’s for Lunch During A UTV Tour to The Knik Glacier?

After spending hours exploring the backcountry, your guide will fire up the grill while everyone takes in the incredible surroundings. Lunch features grilled reindeer dogs served with all the fixings, creating a meal that’s uniquely Alaskan and super tasty after a morning out on the trail.

While most adventures end with a meal back in town, ours is just getting started! As the reindeer dogs sizzle on the grill, you’ll have front-row seats to one of the best lunch views anywhere in the state!

The turquoise waters of Knik Glacier Lake are dotted with floating icebergs, while the towering face of the Knik Glacier rises in the distance. It’s the kind of setting that makes you slow down, take a deep breath, and appreciate just how wild Alaska really is.

Whether you’re filling your camera roll or simply taking it all in, this stop at the glacier is the highlight of the day for many visitors.

Once everyone has had a chance to refuel, we’ll have some more time to soak in the scenery before climbing back into the UTVs for the ride home.

Come hungry. Leave with memories and stories that will last for a long time.

The Ride Back Is Just as Fun

Once lunch time is over, it’s time to fire the engines back up for some more adventure.

The return trip offers another chance to splash through creek crossings, ride alongside the mighty Knik River, and enjoy the ever-changing scenery from a different perspective.

By the time you make it back to the trailhead, you’ll have covered more than 40 miles of rugged Alaska terrain, crossed rivers, shared a meal beside a glacier, and experienced a side of Alaska that very few visitors ever get to see.

Your camera roll is going to be full of so many awesome memories!
