Beautiful day drive- mountains, rivers and wildlife-the best of Alaska. You can pay a fee and drive up to head of the glacier and hike from there. Walk on a glacier while in Alaska. Recommend to wear sturdy shoes with good tread (not tennis shoes) expect some glacial mud. Take water, snacks, sunglasses and sunscreen. Trail is well marked.

Great place to visit to get some up close time with reindeer, moose, more alpacas and other farm critters. Located on Bodenberg Loop it's beautiful farm land with amazing views of the mountains. The "Butte" is a part of this property and nearby are two trailheads for a great day hike to truly see the Valley with a panoramic view.
