Exit Glacier

Choose two or more items and save on your trip:

The view from Exit Glacier, the only place in Kenai Fjords #NationalPark, Alaska you can access by car. The hike is not long, but to get to the glacier requires a nimble scramble over loose rocks and gravel, making it somewhat treacherous. My first time touching a glacier! This was early July, but skies were overcast and we had a lot of rain the week we were in Alaska. #TakeAHike
Wife and I did a hike up to face of the Exit Glacier outside of Seward, Alaska in the Kenai Fjords National Park. It is not named Exit because it is rapidly melting (which it is) but because it is where the first documented mountaineering party to cross the Harding Icefield, which feeds the glacier, in 1968 exited their trek at this glacier.
Beautiful hike on our trek up to ice climb exit glacier. If you are staying near Seward and have an adventurous soul check out some ice climbing adventures, it's a blast!
this was taken form the Top of the Cliffs a 2 mile hike up, you can go further to the Harding Ice Field. It's a steep climb so leave yourself plenty of time, but the view is amazing.#hiking
As we hiked closer to Exit Glacier in Alaska's Kenai Fjords National Park I become aware of the enormity of this sheet of ice that has carved out the valley and the river behind us. Signposts marking how far the glacier has receded point to how fragile the glacial ecosystem is.You can't help but be awed by what a glacier and a few thousand years can do to a landscape. #NationalPark http://casualtravelist.com/blog/kenai-fjords-national-park/
