Portage Glacier once covered the entire valley. When the glacier retreated, lush greenery and a clear lake were left behind. Head to the Begich, Boggs Visitor Center to learn about the natural and human history of the area. From here you can see the glacial lake and mountains. Reserve a spot on one of the boats that leaves from the visitor center to travel to the glacier's edge. Wear warm clothes, including gloves. Take a look at our Anchorage vacation builder to schedule your visit to Portage Glacier and learn about what else to see and do during your holiday.

Amazing way to kick off a multi-week Alaska vacation!! Not too far from Anchorage. Stopped at the AWCC on the way. It was chilly but sunny!

Hurry up and see it before global warming makes it extinct. Took a boat tour. It’s was so cool! And it’s melting. Held a piece in my hand. Bring your bug spray!
