We went on a rainy day, so we did not walk on the glacier. But you can get right to it on a nice day.
It was so neat to be able to walk out on the Glacier. Knowing it was over 2000 years was beyond anything one could imagine. Just breath taking.
this glacier is worth a stop if you are traveling on the richardson highway. There is a nice pull out and you can walk up to it.
You can climb way up the glacier. It's a little bit of a walk to do so but it's fun. If you are driving to Valdez during the winter, stop in the see the huge amount of snow. They plowed the walkways and you could barely see over them. It has reseeded a lot since I was a kid the first time I saw it so see it while you still can.
Wow this place is so amazing -hiked -took a pack lunch spent 4 hours hiking exploring and enjoying the colors and the beauty of this amazing yes I said it again wish I had my daughters camera as she is the photo buff take my word for it you will live it and love it make a day of it
I didnt think this was a great attraction. Its just ok. If you already seen and went close to glacier then this is nothing different or mind blowing. Yes stop on your way in or out of Valdez to see it. Dont drive specially for this.
There is a small trail here that you can access the glacier and literally touch them!
old travel guide says you can put your hand in it....it has retreated and you can not. Awesome view anyway. Worth the short ride off the road.
Love the glaciers, last time I saw this glacier was in the 90's and it was alot bigger, its so sad they are getting smaller
This is one of the most accessible glaciers in Alaska. It took about 30 minutes short hike to touch the glacier. We went in a sunny summer afternoon and both adults and kids enjoyed the visit. It costs nothing to visit the beautiful park as there is even no entrance fee.
