Itinerary

The Exit Glacier Nature Hike is a moderate hike over a undeveloped hiking trail that walks along the outflow plain and follows the trail up to a elevated point that overlooks the outflow plain and the toe of the glacier as well as the face of the glacier. This hike does not travel on ice! This is not a ice hike. As we get to the visitor area we spend a few minutes with your guide that will explain and provide an interesting insight to the geology, flora and fauna of the area. We often see moose, mountain goats, and other small animals including at times black bears.
