Are glacier Tours safe?
Are glacier Tours safe? Glacier travel can be dangerous at night. However, at Matanuska Glacier tours are provided both in Summer and Winter, during the day. Northern Lights are viewable in the winter, so we encourage visitors to stay in the area for a night or two and hopefully see the Aurora Borealis from there.
Do you have to worry about bears in Glacier National Park?
Just to keep things in perspective, though, bear encounters are very rare. Consider that roughly two million people visit Glacier each year, and more than one million venture into the backcountry. On average, there are only one or two non-lethal bear incidents in a given year.
