🥳Matanuska is a MUST SEE in Alaska. What is a MUST SEE in your state/country?

[@CerraEquus]

Saxonian Switzerland, which is sand stone formations along the river Elbe in eastern Germany. :)

Pangong Tso in Ladakh, India

Matanuska glacier and the surrounding area are wonderful! You continue to do a fantastic job! From a prior gut wrenching, potentially fatal, encounter with a glacier (don't canoe on a very windy day, regardless of what others may say) I have very healthy fear and respect for glaciers. I don't know that I'd be as quick for walking on them again. Thank you much for sharing your adventure!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Yikes, sounds like a harrowing experience. It's so important to have a healthy respect for glaciers!!

[@andybrinkmoeller4322]

This episode made me cold and I live in Florida. And it’s July. What a rare treat! Thanks again for sharing your journey.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Our pleasure! Nothing like a little virtual AC right?

[@edwardmiller6353]

Love the video!! Amazing content and pictures!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thanks so much!!

[@nancymclaughlin7626]

I love following your adventures. I've been to Alaska, but didn't get to stay as long as you.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

We feel super lucky with how long we've been able to stay. A blessing for sure! But anytime in Alaska is a blessing. Amazing place.

[@tompfeiffer2755]

What a trip in the snow❄️. Thanks for sharing❤

Thank you very much!

[@kyralichtenstein2971]

Wow an amazing video, it makes me more and more thinking about visiting Alaska in the wintertime. Thanks for sharing!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Doooooo it! It's amazing!!!

[@heiser_bill]

Beautiful! I've driven past there but didn't have time to stop - another time I hope!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Hope you can make it one day!

[@healerondemand3464]

Yes it is. Living in south Florida that’s like the other end of the world but is love to do it. Thanks for sharing.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Hahaha, don't we know it! We actually did the whole bus conversion in South Florida. Those afternoon rains man...

[@healerondemand3464]

@@ArtWeThereYet yes. Especially going on now. Planning on making the journey next year. Hopefully this year but definitely next year.

[@tomcampbell1066]

Another outstanding video from Cora and Jose. Cinematography, content, and narration are all best in class. This is now my favorite KZbin Channel and look forward to all of the new content. The quality of the videos should be recognized by KZbin and maybe there is an opportunity to publish on Nebula or Curiosity Stream 😃

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Wow, thank you Tom! What a kind compliment. Thank you for taking the time to write this and send such awesome feedback. And thanks for being on the adventure with us!

[@karenfletcher6628]

Another awesome video😊

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you 😊😊

[@paulbrunson741]

Double Wow!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thanks, Paul!

[@user-hp9rb5ut2n]

cool drive!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Yeah, the Glenn Highway is hard to beat!

[@tacrewgirl]

Great video. Enjoy the background information you share. Y'all should checkout Matanuska Glacier in the summer and compare. I've still yet to visit it.

[@georgemartin5481]

Cora and Jose' another beautiful video that my wife and I enjoyed a lot! Glad you made it through the (fat man's squeeze).

[@ArtWeThereYet]

So happy you enjoyed it, George! That section was a squeeze for sure! Jose had to leave his big backpack behind!

Thanks for watching!

[@srachui9150]

Hi, did you do the full or half-day tour? Also, which company did you use for guides? We won't need the shuttle service. Thanks!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Hey there! If you don't need the shuttle service, then you can book directly with the company that organizes the tour that we did: glacier-tours.com/matanuska-glacier-summer-tours/. It's actually cheaper that way! The glacier tour itself isn't half day/full day, it's just a set time (1.5-2hrs). It's just that other tour companies (like the shuttle service) fold the glacier tour in with other activities (like a restaurant meal along the way, stops at viewpoints, etc). The companies that fold the glacier tour in with a lot of other activities call it a full day, and some that just get you there/maybe a snack or quick stop along the way call it a half day. But it's just one company that runs the hiking tours to the toe of the glacier, and yep, that tour runs 1.5-2hrs. And it's cheaper to book direct with them :) Have so much fun out there!

[@Kklkoko]

Awesome clip. When was the video taken? How much did it cost for the tour? And do they ask for tip at the end?

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you! So we went in March. Here is the link for the tour that includes the shuttle service from Anchorage: artwethereyet.com/blog/top-things-to-do-ketchikan-alaska/#southeast-packing-list In Alaska, it's customary to give a $20/person tip 👍

[@Kklkoko]

@@ArtWeThereYet Thanks, but are you sure that was the correct link? It only has info about Ketchikan. Not Matanuska glacier. Also do you recall how much it cost? I was wondering if you did through an travel agency? Or went directly to the vendor?

[@ArtWeThereYet]

@Kklkoko Hey! Sorry…wrong link. Here is the correct link: www.viator.com/tours/Anchorage/Matanuska-Glacier-Summer-Hike-And-Tour-Full-Day/d4152-36672P22?pid=P00140841&mcid=42383&medium=link&medium_version=selector&campaign=matanuska-glacier-tour-with-shuttle That is for the tour that includes the shuttle. If you don’t need the shuttle and want to book directly with the glacier tour company, here is their link: glacier-tours.com/

[@ArtWeThereYet]

We booked our tickets directly with the vendor (second link I sent). We got the AK resident rate, so it was about $50 each.

[@RissaBabyyxo]

What month was this?

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Hi there, this was on the first week of March.

[@RissaBabyyxo]

@ArtWeThereYet ha were also going on the first week of March next year! So this will be perfect reference 😁
