This 13-mile-long glacier is part of the Tongass National Forest and offers spectacular views of ice formations, turquoise waters, and surrounding wildlife.

Total hike with two kids under five took around 2 hours. Easy hike - not too many hills and a well defined trail. Rained part of the way but trail was partially covered. We took the shoreline back up to the beginning of the trail which added time to our loop. ❄️
