Description:

There are approximately 100,000 glaciers throughout the state of Alaska. What's the significance of this you ask? Well, you can walk on them, kayak around them, and if they're big enough, hop in a helicopter and take a tour where you'll land on them. Arguably the most impressive glacier in Alaska that's definitely worth a visit is the Matanuska glacier.

There's an impressive variety of wildlife just waiting to be spotted in the Kenai Fjords National Park. Taking an all-day boat tour gives travelers the chance to see everything from orcas and sea otters to bears and mountain goats, all while taking in the beautiful sights that The Last Frontier has to offer.

If you're planning on visiting the Matanuska glacier, you'd be a fool to miss out on the Talkeetnas mountain range that's nearby. Though it's not an official national park, it's just as beautiful as one and is sure to leave you with many amazing memories should you visit there.
