The view from Exit Glacier, the only place in Kenai Fjords #NationalPark, Alaska you can access by car. The hike is not long, but to get to the glacier requires a nimble scramble over loose rocks and gravel, making it somewhat treacherous. My first time touching a glacier! This was early July, but skies were overcast and we had a lot of rain the week we were in Alaska. #TakeAHike
