There is a short interpretive talk at 12pm and ranger-led walks daily at 10am, 2pm and 4pm. Exit Glacier Road is 9 miles long, and the glacier is at the end, with plenty of parking.
Visit the town of Talkeetna
A two hour drive North of Anchorage Talkeetna is home to the convergence of three major glacial rivers, which makes for great excursions, whether by air, land or by water. At a minimum, we recommend visitors choose one flightseeing tour and one river tour. Other activities in Talkeetna include zipline tours and fishing. There are also several great trails in the area to explore on your own. Just outside of town, visitors can walk to the waterfront and marvel at the mighty Susitna River. On a clear days, enjoy views of the Alaskan Range and Denali (Mt. McKinley) as the backdrop. Also be sure to walk around downtown Talkeetna where you will find several quaint shops, local breweries, restaurants and more.
