Where We Ride
We’re lucky to have amazing trails accessible right from our home base! When the snow conditions allow you’ll be riding out the Knik River Valley past the Chugach Mountains with stunning views of the Knik Glacier. Your experience matters to us & good snow dictates where we ride. There are popular areas for riding that we trailer to when necessary! All have stunning views and offer a variety of fun landscapes to ride through!
Knik Glacier Snowmobile Tour
This epic full day tour takes you on a thrilling ride through a winter wonderland of forested trails, open valleys & across frozen rivers with epic mountain vistas and plenty of opportunity to spot local wildlife.
When snow conditions allow* we ride all the way to the terminus of the mighty Knik Glacier and out onto a frozen glacial lake. You’ll be entranced as we ride amongst the blue ice and in between giant icebergs frozen in place. You’ll have time to have trail snacks and hot cocoa out by the glacier. In the dead of winter this iceberg lake becomes a playground with small caves to explore & even ice slides enjoyed by kids and adults alike!
If you’re ready for an exciting winter experience that is usually a locals only adventure this is the tour for you! Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife because moose are very common & you might even be one of the lucky few to spot our resident wolves!
*There are many different trail options that we ride depending on snow conditions & sometimes we trailer offsite to chase the best snow for this full day experience. While we can’t always make it to the glacier we can guarantee an epic experience with incredible views!
Don’t forget to bring your camera!
