This is a really nice way to get up and close with a glacier. They try to make it accessible for all. You will need to make a day of it though as it is about a two-hour drive out. Maybe stop at a Palmer or Wasilla brewery on the way back into town.

Take the scenic Seward Hwy a few hours south to Hope, Ak in the summer months. There are several bars and restaurants that feature some of the best local music Alaska has to offer. A historic little gold rush town, this is also an awesome place to hike, bird, fish, camp and whitewater raft. You could even try your hand at gold panning.
