Hiking Hiking on Fox Island Photo by John Page, Sunny Cove Sea Kayaking Exit Glacier is the most accessible park area. A gravel road at mile 3.7 of the Seward Highway leads nine miles to the Exit Glacier Ranger Station. The area offers exhibits on the glacier and the Harding Icefield, interpretive programs, and hikes.
Rangers provide information daily in the summer.
You may return to the ranger station by a nature trail. Exit Glacier descends 2500 feet over its nearly three-mile length. The three-mile Harding Icefield trail, which follows the glacier's flank to an overlook of the icefield, offers a difficult ascent on a steep trail. It's for day use only overnight backpacking is prohibited. The glacier is active and calving, and falling ice is dangerous.
