Step Into a World of Ice, Silence, and Wonder
There are places in Alaska where the world feels untouched. Where the mountains tower like sleeping giants, the ice stretches for miles, and the only sound is the wind rushing through the peaks. This is where your glacier tour begins.
At Golden Eagle Outfitters, our glacier tours offer more than just a flight—they offer a rare chance to walk in one of the last truly wild places on Earth.

The Journey Begins in the Sky
Your adventure starts with a scenic flight through the remote heart of the Alaska Range. For forty unforgettable minutes, you’ll soar past sharp ridgelines, hidden valleys, and ancient glaciers—getting up-close views of towering peaks like Mount Hayes and Mount Moffit, each rising over 13,000 feet into the clouds.
This isn’t a commercial flight. It’s an intimate, awe-filled ride into the unknown.

Land on a Living Glacier
Your destination: a remote gravel airstrip perched at 4,000 feet on a kame terrace above Trident Glacier—a twenty-mile-long ribbon of ice born in the shadows of Mount Hayes.
Once you step out of the plane, you’re surrounded by nothing but snow-capped mountains, shifting glacial ice, and untouched wilderness. There are no roads. No crowds. No signs of civilization. Just you, and the stillness of something ancient.

Wildlife Without the Crowds
This region rivals Denali in both beauty and wildlife—but with none of the tourists.
You might spot grizzly bears, Dall sheep, caribou, marmots, wolves, or even a wolverine in the distance. All of it set against a landscape so massive, it feels almost otherworldly.
