Glacier View Trail Details
This one-mile loop trail is wheelchair-accessible. The surface is a mix of pavement and crushed stone. Start at the Exit Glacier Nature Center and parking lot. Turn left from the nature center onto the trail, and follow it through a cottonwood forest to a panoramic vista of Exit Glacier flowing down from the Harding Icefield -- the largest ice field entirely located in the U.S. Follow the accessible trail as it loops back to the parking lot, passing the turnoff for the Edge of the Glacier Trail and Harding Icefield Trail.
