This wayside offers great views of Exit Glacier in the distance.  As you look toward the glacier, you might notice that the plants closer to the glacier tend to be small shrubs compared to the trees and forest that you just went through.  There is a bench to rest on and listen to Exit Creek as it flows by.  The wayside talks about the Harding Icefield, which is the source of ice for Exit Glacier.  There is a picture on the wayside that shows the ice from Exit Glacier spilling over from the Harding Icefield.
