Matanuska Glacier
Amazing surprise while hiking on the Matanuska Glacier in Alaska
Cars fly on the Fourth of July
Glacier View, near the toe of the Matanuska Glacier, celebrated the Fourth of July with lots of food, a parade and an airplane flyover. They also launched three vehicles off the bluff. The fourth, a Ford van, came off the guide wire at the last moment and crashed head-on into a bulldozer. Party organizer Arnie Hrncir said the team has never launched three vehicles before at the party. “Any little kid’s dream is to roll a rock down a hill. This is times 10,” said Arnie’s son, Dustin Hrncir.
Hrncir estimates the third car off the jump, an early-90s Nissan Pathfinder, reached 55 miles per hour on the 500 foot runway, and traveled a distance of 100 yards in the air — both records for the celebration.
Arnie Hrncir reported 550 guests, the largest crowd ever. Over 500 pounds of pork, beef and chicken were served at the party that first started in 1996. The car launching began in 2005.

columbia glacier range - a cruise away from valdez, alaska
Experience the marvelous blue ice blocks floating on the coast of valdez. You can also notice blocks with dirt on it making it blackish color. There was like a bridge of ice on the water, a shoreline formed by waves making their way through these blocks.

Packrafting Kings River Alaska's Magic Mile and Canyon
Ariel & I drove my Suburban 5 miles up a glorified ATV trail to near the pull out then hiked 10 miles up Kings River Valley to where the two branches converge. Here we put in and found the most exciting run we have ever experienced!
Hiking Portage Glacier Alaska
This journey led us through a 2 mile mountain tunnel where glaciers and natural run off waterfalls greeted us on the other side. We trekked up a 1.5 mile mountain pass which almost got us up close and personal with Portage Glacier and the rest we had to earn.

2018 Glacier View 4th of July Car launch
Forget the fireworks, cars fly for Glacier View on the 4th of July
GLACIER VIEW, Alaska (KTUU) - For the Glacier View community, there's a tradition on the 4th of July like no other. What's special about this area is nobody knows about it, Arnie Hrncir said, It's the best kept secret in this entire state.
Nestled about 100 miles north of Anchorage, Glacier View is built on Alaska's pioneer spirit with homesteading roots. On Wednesday, there was a party for America, just off the Glenn Highway.
It starts with a symbolic formation. They'll do the missing man formation, Hrncir explained. Normally when I explain that on the mic I get choked up because you see that missing plane fly off due west you think of how many children never got to meet mom or dad and the sacrifices that were made so that we can do this craziness on the 4th.
The town of a few hundred knows how to draw a crowd for Independence Day. Pretty much it's always been word of mouth,.
The parade is lead by an old soul, Hrncir's 43-year-old horse, Midnight. You won't find many florals or tissue paper decorated floats. Instead, it's the best of the beaters. Many of the cars showcased here will go flying through the air in the afternoon on what is likely to become a final drive.
Hrncir said he had the idea to launch cars from the lofty cliff more than a decade ago. The wife hit a moose with a car and so this was in 2005 we launched the car and then it was like, 'Well, heck that was kinda fun.' So than let's pick it up a notch and this year we've picked it up to a whole 'nother level, he told us Wednesday.
Now, locals and visitors from across the country pack a gravel pit to watch moves that would give The Dukes of Hazzard a panic attack. For some, the thrill is in not knowing where the cars will land or what the show might look like, I've seen them go up the hill; this is the first time I've seen them come down the hill, said Cheryl Ruyz, who was visiting from Reno, Nevada.
For Aaron Andrew-Phillips, the launch was a farewell to the car he started driving in high school — a 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage. It's a slow car. It's got 92 horsepower so it didn't actually go as far as everyone else but it rolled probably 10 or 12 times and it was still running when it hit the bottom! he exclaimed after the descent.
After making the launch in the name of freedom, the cars are hauled away, but not before leaving a lasting impression.
