Matanuska Glacier

Heading north of Palmer, uncharted waters for us

Typical...

Our first view of the glacier from the state park area

And here we are, after paying $45 for a little family that charges to drive closer and hike in

We found a few fall colors still left!

The oh so classy trail


Trying to push the glacier

Kayla in a cave (pretty pumped that she's sporting my old track pants)
So huge!

Acting goofy on the glacier (I'd just had a crazy night at work and hadn't slept yet)

It rained on us while hiking out, but eventually the sun peaked out and illuminated the ice

Cody thought this was pretty hilarious

Attempt at a jumping glacier picture

Cody and I... this made it to our Top 5 of Alaska list

It was an especially gross mixture of clay and silt...

Here comes the sun

The beautiful blue hue of the ice

Disgusted yet again

Another photo op

Cody climbing up

Cody and Kayla found a slide

Meanwhile, I just took a lounge on the glacier

Calling Tim to rub it in

Beautiful reflection of the ice

One of the last views as we hiked back


This was named Long Lake
Pit stop to alleviate some carsickness

If this wasn't a scenic highway already, it should be
