For perspective:
I was born, raised, and still live in the Anchorage area. When I was 12 (45 now, you used to be able to drive that 45 min to hour down to Portage, and step out of your car to the glacier itself. It used to sit in the lake right there in front of the parking lot.
If you're interested in glaciers you can walk up to, go to Exit Glacier. I'm not sure if you can still walk to it now, but the last time I visited (within the decade, maybe) you could. The trail to it has signs posted with dates, showing how it melted and when. It's a couple hours south of Anchorage, getting close to Seward.

Great video! All of portage Valley and the Turnagain Bay Drive combines to create one of my absolute favorite places on this planet. It is unbelievably stunning! Ive been to portage Valley several times, and it is usually raining which doesnt spoil it at all, it just adds to the number of waterfalls cascading down the mountains. You got a beautiful clear blue sky day, how amazing!

You can definitely hike into the ice caves below the glacier if you are willing to get wet: ) lol and honestly after seeing Alaska, you will never get sick of seeing waterfalls falling to the lakes. Literally everywhere in Alaska. It is truly paradise on Earth. If you do the Kenai National Parks Tour, they make cocktails out of Glacial Ice: )

Very beautiful - certainly looks like a fun adventure - I'd much prefer this kind of fly drive vacation to cruising up to Alaska and around the coast - although, once there they probably offer cruises to inaccessible sites probably worth trying. And you've had good weather! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to Seward.

This fits right in to plans we have for an Alaskan family trip. My son wants our grandsons to see a glacier before they are gone. We have never seen a glacier either so it would be an experience for us too! Thanks!

So beautiful! We got a quick peak at Portage Glacier from the train that brought us back from Denali to the cruise port then we enjoyed several glaciers from the ship in Glacier Bay Natl Park!

That's amazing to think the area you were in used to be part of the glacier not so long ago. We assume doesn't change all that much, but then there are examples like this.
