• Portage Glacier - Make a brief stop in Portage Valley, where several hanging glaciers, which once spanned the entire 14-mile valley, can be seen. Portage Glacier has receded approximately 2.5 miles, leaving behind a dead lake. The glacial remnants visible today include Explorer, Middle, Byron, Burns, and Shakespeare glaciers. Although still large, these glaciers are smaller reminders of the immense ice sheets that once covered this landscape. Next, enjoy a walk through the rainforest, followed by a ride back to Chugach State Park to marvel at the stunning views of Turnagain Arm.
