Coastal ridge and marsh trail offering sweeping views of Mendenhall Glacier, ice-choked Mendenhall Lake, Tongass forest and frequent wildlife. Best for dramatic landscape and waterscape compositions with reflective pools and floating ice. Trail is mostly easy-moderate, year-round but often wet; free access with small parking areas near the trailhead (expect mud and limited spaces). Visit sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light on glacier ice; overcast days enhance texture. Respect Tlingit hom
