This is the Best Way to
See the Knik Glacier

Tackle over 40 miles of Alaskan terrain as you ride deep into the Knik River Valley on a full-day ATV expedition to the face of the mighty Knik Glacier. Power through creek crossings, rip across sand dunes, and scan the cliffs for Dall sheep and moose as you carve your way through the backcountry.

This off-road tour is sure to be the best part of your Alaska vacation. Bring your camera and be prepared to get dirty!

Don’t Forget

The key to comfort in Alaska is to wear layers for warmth and bring a rain jacket just in case. Feel free to bring water and snacks in a backpack that can be put in your machine.

“Spending a day with 49th State Motor Tours was one of my family’s favorite parts of our Alaska trip! We did a full-day tour with a stop at Knik Glacier for lunch and we were amazed by the views and backcountry of Alaska. Our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and we would book again in a heartbeat!”

This was the most fun! Our guide, Jeremiah, took very good care of us. He was very knowledgeable and made us a delicious lunch. The UTV’s were in great condition. We saw moose along the way and the view of the glacier stunning. Top notch service and so much fun!!! Thank you, 49th State Motor Tours!!

“We had a blast! It was the most fun and exhilarating ATV ride my family and I have been on. I am an experienced rider and was expecting a boring ride to the glacier and back. I could not have been more wrong. Not only was our guide Jeremiah absolutely amazing but the terrain and the water crossings were phenomenal as well. Don’t let me forget the awesome lunch we were served as well. Thank you Jeremiah and 49th State Motor Tours!”

“We had an amazing tour with Jeremiah. This was the best thing we booked on our trip to Alaska. The lunch was pretty amazing, the views were incredible, and we even got to go out on the glacier. I would 100% do this again if we return to Alaska. If you’re on the fence, just do it.”

“This is a must-do tour! The fun, beauty, and full day of running was a blast. If you like a true backcountry tour, this is for you! We have done ATV tours on every vacation worldwide, and this is the best! It is worth the time and $! We had lunch at the glacier. The glacier is beautiful!”
