'Exit Glacier' is a glacier derived from the
Harding Icefield in the
Kenai Mountains of
Alaska.
It received its name because it served as the "exit" for the first recorded crossing of the Harding Icefield.
Access
The Exit Glacier is especially notable for being a "drive up" glacier (similar to the
Mendenhall Glacier of
Juneau). A spur road of the
Seward Highway takes visitors to the only road accessbile portion of the
Kenai Fjords National Park and a number of hiking trails that take you to the
terminus of the glacier or even up to the Harding Icefield itself. Although one of the Harding Icefield's smaller glaciers, because of its easy accessibility and abundant hiking trails around and above the glacier, the Exit Glacier is one of the more visited glaciers in Alaska.
