Quick Facts

Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

This overlook offers one of the closest viewing points of Exit Glacier.  The toe of Exit Glacier was at this point in 2005.  The ground is mostly barren rock, as the plants that grow after a glacier’s retreat have not had a time to start growing here yet.  There are two wayside signs at this overlook.  Stop here to observe Exit Glacier, and to see the powerful river of ice that helped to shape this landscape.
