Portage Valley
Portage Valley is an adventure-lovers playground with plenty of exciting activities that allow travelers to get out on their own and explore some of Alaska's most beautiful backcountry.
Glaciers abound on this 14-mile isthmus that connects the Kenai Peninsula to mainland Alaska. Portage Glacier, one of the region's most popular attractions, once extended the entire length of the valley.
Today visitors can take a guided cruise to the face of this famous glacier, as well as see the remnants of many other glaciers in the area including Explorer, Middle, Byron, Burns, and Shakespeare glaciers.
Portage Valley is also home to a number of excellent hiking and biking trails, including the Trail of Blue Ice and Byron Glacier Trail.
