Sutton, AK

Travel Guide

At 27 miles long by 4 miles wide, it is the largest glacier accessible by car in the United States. While taking a guided tour with my friend, we  walked through hundreds of feet of vein like tunnels of ice, we ended up in a wide opening that had one of the most beautiful reflections I have ever seen/photographed in my life.

Beautiful views off the Glenn Hwy.
Just a few miles away from the Matanuska Glacier, you pass these beautiful mountains. The colors in the afternoon were just breathtaking.

8.6/10 Excellent! (176 reviews)
Didn’t realize the room we rented was not located in the large log-cabin lodge pictured on the website. Rooms are in a separate building; they’re are old and outdated; our carpet had not been vacuumed. The room smelled musty and unclean.

C.N.

I don’t think the town of Sutton is correct, but this area is very scenic. The view of the mountains is great and there is a great view of the Worthington glacier right down the road.

5/5 - Excellent

Daniel

Many easy to do activities like glacier walk, trials, ATV, Zipline, etc. Beatiful place.

5/5 - Excellent

During winter time, the restaurant is closed but there is a grocery store 15 miles away. You also have a small fridge in the cabin.
