Fairly easy walk/hike but the path had a lot of puddles so wear proper footwear. We had to wait a while for a parking spot. The trail is fairly busy too but views at the end are great! Signs tell you not to walk on the snow but everyone does. Wear bug spray!

This was an easy trail, fairly level, well maintained. Beautiful creek runs along it. We were able to touch the ice and snow. This was one of our favorite hikes.

Amazing experience! The views in both directions and how the panorama chances in the walk is truly unique. Sticking the hands in the ice cold water was a fabulous experience. Overall would strongly recommend this trail.

We visited in May, so perhaps different time of the year the glacier looks more impressive at this location, but it was a pretty modest area - we had a similar experience at the Exit Glacier by Seward, but here I would say this one is even more modest, or at least was at the end of May 2025. Nevertheless, it is a nice and pleasant walk more than a hike and you literally get to even touch the snow/ice (the water underneath felt even colder) so while on the way to or from Whittier this is a no brainer, especially if you probably will stop at Begich, Boggs Visitor Center (reviewed separately), or perhaps you may be taking the boat next door for the Portage Glacier - all these 3 places are pretty much in the same spot so plan combining them + you can combine it with the driving visit to Whittier. Free parking, no hiking fees - no facilities here though, a nice paved pathway or at least flat with gravel. The super fast walk (we were warned that there has been a sighting of a moose with her baby in the area earlier that day) took us about 45m round trip with some time at the glacier as well. but plan around 1h or more for the whole thing.

Longer hike then they say, but 4 adults and 2 children made it. Was a beautiful day out and the trail is well traveled, would have been nice to have a bench or rock to sit on but still a trail to be on.
