Spend the morning hiking the Matanuska Glacier, enjoying the unique ice formations and vivid blue pools. Then board the raft for a float down a less traveled stretch of the Matanuska River. Camp on the wild side of the river in the shadow of the Chugach Mountains. Look for wolf and bear tracks along the beach while your guide prepares a hearty Alaskan meal. Continue down river the following day and watch for Dall sheep or take a hike up one of the side drainages.
