Exit Glacier

Exit Glacier

I had seen many photos of Kenai Fjords National Park prior to traveling to Seward, therefore, we really wanted to see Exit Glacier. Since we were worried about my Mom getting sick on one of the Glacier tours (by boat), we decided to just drive out to Exit Glacier.

We were glad that we did. This is an easy hike for just about anyone to do. My Dad has bad knees and walks very slowly, and even he didn't have much difficulty traversing the trail. The trail is clearly marked from the parking lot, and you won't get lost.

Exit Glacier

  • September 12, 2003
  • Rated 5 of 5 by binta from Dallas, Texas
A very accessible glacier, Exit Glacier is about 130 miles from Anchorage and four miles from Seward, according to the tourist literature. With at least three trails leading to different levels of the glacier from the official entrance, the shortest trails are easy walks, getting you close enough to clearly see the blue coloration and huge pieces of ice, newly broken from the mass. Post markers indicate how far down the valley the glacier existed just a few decades ago, showing the rapid rate of its meltdown or disintegration. Just one of many glaciers that are part of ancient ice fields, experiencing Exit Glacier is a remarkable reminder of the primitive nature of so much of the state's ecosystem.
