Knik Glacier and the Mat-Su Valley in Alaska just 40 miles north of Anchorage is a great summer experience. Knik Glacier is still in its natural surroundings. You can reach it by contacting tour companies in Anchorage or driving out the Glenn Hwy and driving your own ATV up the Knik River Bank from the bridge on the Old Glenn Hwy. No hotels, no restaurants, no roads, just lots of wildlife and quiet. Go to www.artworldplus.com to read my stories of traveling in Alaska and view photos of Knik Glacier.
