Exit Glacier Road

October 24, 2019 - the State of Alaska Department of Transportation has closed and locked the gate at mile 1.3 of Herman Leirer Road (Exit Glacier RD) for the winter.

The Exit Glacier area is the only part of the park accessible by road.

Here you can explore the trails, walk very close to an active glacier, or take a ranger-led walk.

It is a place where you can witness up close how glaciers re-shape a landscape and learn how plant life reclaims the barren rocky land exposed by a glacier's retreat

Also known as – Herman Leirer Road.
