Views of the Glacier are beautiful!

This is a very nice campground set back from Mendenhall lake and the famous Mendenhall Glacier.  Bears frequent this area and sometimes wolves too.  If you are looking for that wild Alaska experience you can have it here.  Lots of hiking around there.  Once that salmon start running you can walk on the man made walkway next to the creek and watch bears catch salmon to feed their cubs!  Truly an amazing experience!  If you make it there during the winter bring your cross country skis and ski through the campground, or across the lake to the glacier.

  • 10 hour boat ride to Tracy Arm Fjord.  Don’t waste your time on the short ride from Allen boats....take the long one from Adventure Bound Alaska.  They are able to get much closer to the glacier because their boats are not aluminum.
