Exit Glacier
Exit Glacier is the most accessible park area. The turnoff at mile 3.7 of the Seward Highway leads 9 miles to Exit Glacier Ranger Station. The last 4.2 miles of this road are unpaved gravel. Exhibits about the glacier and the Harding Icefield, interpretive programs, and hikes are available here. Rangers provide information daily in summer.

An easy .5-mile hike leads to the glacier's terminus; the first quarter mile is fully accessible. A steeper trail continues over moraines and bedrock. You can return to the Ranger Station by a nature trail. Exit Glacier descends 2,500 feet over its nearly 3-mile length. Stay off the ice: the glacier is active and calving ice is dangerous. The area beyond the warning signs is strictly off limits.
