Enjoy it while visiting Anchorage in Alaska
Portage Glacier used to extend to the current location of the Seward Highway. However, over time, it has receded, leaving behind a stunning 14-mile strip called Portage Valley. This valley serves as an isthmus that connects the Kenai Peninsula with mainland Southcentral Alaska.
Just 55 miles southeast of Anchorage lies the Portage Valley and Glacier, a captivating landscape managed by the Chugach National Forest. If you’re traveling between Seward, Whittier, and Anchorage, you’ll be delighted to discover the abundance of outdoor recreational activities and learn about this extraordinary and untamed wilderness.
