Portage and Whittier, Alaska: Drive to Portage Glacier
 ifty
miles south of Anchorage, off the Seward Highway Scenic
Byway, there's a turnoff toward the Portage Glacier. The
"Portage Highway" that leads to the Glacier has
a number of scenic pullouts, some of which are suitable
for those who are in wheelchairs or have difficulty walking.
These include Moose Flats, Alder Pond and the Explorer Glacier
Viewpoint. There's a wheelchair-accessible fish-viewing
platform on Williwaw Creek, right near the visitor center,
where eagles, gulls, dipper and ducks can be seen - along
with salmon. There are several public campgrounds on this
road. |
