Harding Ice Field Hike

Harding Ice Field Hike

This hike kicked my ass, but in a good way. I was nervous about doing it alone, so I hooked up with the ranger-led hike that departed at 9am from the ranger station at the entrance to the park. This hike runs every Saturday during the summer, but check with the Kenai Fjords Park office in Seward to make sure that it's still on.

It starts out in the forest and involves scrambling over some rocks in the steep sections. Maybe about a mile and a half into it you get above the treeline, and from there, you get great views of the glacier as you continue climbing over a series of hills. Once you get to the top of the glacier where you can see Harding Ice Field, well, just look at the pictures!
