This is a beautiful ride to the Nelchina Glacier. We begin at trailhead near Eureka, AK and ride about 60 miles roundtrip. You will experience trail riding, riding on a river, and “playing” in the wide open spaces of Alaska . Near the glacier you will get to walk around, enjoy the scenery, and take gorgeous pictures. As always you have the chance to see some wildlife (usually Moose, Bald Eagles, and Ptarmigan).
After a snack at the glacier we will head back to Eureka for a delicious dinner before heading back to Palmer.
Tour Includes:
All gear, orientation for snowmobile operation and safety information, local guide, fuel & oil, drink breaks, all with our guide services throughout the entire trip. Guide gratuities are NOT included in the tour price.
At the snowmobile trailhead, we will provide a 15-minute safety briefing and orientation to snowmobiling. Topics covered will be proper operation of the snowmobile, general safety information, what to expect while on the tour route, procedures for possible wildlife encounters, and information on proper snowmobile riding techniques.
Check in Time & Location:
Clients will be met at our tour office by our guide staff upon arrival. Clients will be outfitted with snow boots, full snowmobile suit, gloves and a helmet. After suiting up, everyone will caravan to the trailhead 1.5 hours away. (Keep in mind that travel time could lengthen the overall experience time) If you do not have your own transportation to our office in Palmer, we can help arrange that for you.

We recommend some snowmobiling experience prior to participating in one of our tours. Riding a snowmobile, as a general rule is more challenging than riding an ATV because it requires coordinated physical input such as leaning and moving on the seat to assist the snowmobile in turning. Drivers need to be prepared to heed the advice of their guide and use their body to be actively involved with the steering and driving of the snowmobile for proper operation. Please note that the maximum amount of weight a double-rider snowmobile can accommodate is a total of 375 pounds for both participants. If the clients combined weight is over 375 pounds, we recommend they ride single.
