Seward: Exit Glacier Nature Hike with Scenic Views

Seward: Exit Glacier Nature Hike with Scenic Views

Embark on a scenic hike through the stunning landscapes of Kenai Fjords National Park. This 2.2-mile loop trail offers an easy to moderate hiking experience, winding through a glaciated forest filled with tall spruce, cottonwood, and birch trees. Along the way, you'll encounter dated terminal moraines of Exit Glacier and, if you're lucky, spot wildlife such as moose, bears, and mountain goats. Your knowledgeable guide will share insights about the local flora and fauna, geology, and the history of Seward, making frequent stops to ensure you can catch your breath and take in the surroundings. You'll hike along the river that flows under Exit Glacier, which provides unique views of glacial cut valleys and hidden glaciers on the mountain tops. The hike gains almost 250 feet in elevation over a little more than a mile, making it accessible for most hikers. The trail includes sections of blacktop, gravel, and a narrow beam bridge crossing a small drainage. Be prepared for potential wildlife encounters, as Alaska is bear country.

We had an excellent time on this hike. Our guide (Al) was kind and very interesting plus she accommodated our slower speed. The trail was strenuous as promised and a bit much for us. When we realized we would not reach the summit of the trail, she was very open to making a new plan that got us near the glacier instead. Aside from the wonderful conversations we had all day (Al was full of information about everything!!!!), she made sure we were comfortable and safe the whole day. And how she made the rain wait until we got into the van to go back is anyone's guess.

5 out of 5 stars

I can't speak more highly of this tour. Our tour guide, Pierce, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed when we forgot all the essentials! This was our first hiking tour experience, and we are so glad we did it! We absolutely wouldn't have learned so much about the vegetation or wildlife if not for Pierce providing us with so much information!

5 out of 5 stars

We had a great time! The glacier hike was strenuous for sure, but Al was very patient and a pleasure to spend the day with. I highly recommend it!
