Beautiful photo but I don't see a glacier.


You won’t because it’s not there. It’s off to the right of the scene, at the end of the lake, and out of sight from the parking lot where this photo was taken.

Viewing the scene at its perspective, the glacier would be off to the right, but about two miles away. It can’t be seen from the parking area and the visitor’s center anymore, so you have to take a boat ride to see the glacier.

Portage is about 45 miles south of Anchorage along the Seward Hwy, and the lake and glacier area sits off the road about 7 or 8 miles. About half way in there is a bridge over a salmon spawning stream, and when the reds (sockeye salmon) are in, there is a great viewing area off the side of the road. You can see lots of the bright red salmon with their very green heads.

thanks for the up date. I was in Anchorage from 83 to 88 so got to see it when the glacier was front and center.

So beautiful! But so sad! This Bay Area use to be filled with Hugh glacier ice in the summer! None left to be there!
