Alaska Travel: Ice Mountain Adventures

August 14, 2008 at 2:00 PM | 0 Comments

We've seen plenty of Alaska before: The state's unpredictable wildlife, epic hiking and even its surfing. But if you want even more out of a trip to America's last frontier, hit up Mica Guides.

Based just two hours from Anchorage on the Matanuska Glacier, the company offers glacier tours, adventure trips and, most importantly, ice climbing! Every day during the summer months, tours depart at 10 am and last about six hours. Best of all, no experience is necessary, as they'll tailor your tour to fit what you can handle.

It will only set you back $130 per person and that includes all the gear you'l need. You probably should bring your own sunscreen, sunglasses, gloves and some warm clothes. Once you get good, Mica also offers an advanced class where they'll mix things up and get you climbing some seriously wild ice.
