Guided Walk: Forest Loop Trail

Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve

  • Every day at 1:30 PM from May 22, 2026 to September 07, 2026

Walk with a ranger to track the “footprints” left by a glacier and discover hidden stories of Glacier
Bay’s forests and shore. Walk will take about 90 minutes, one mile walk, easy. A self-guiding walk is available at any time using the NPS App.

Note: If you are departing Bartlett Cove for a flight after the walk ends at 3 pm and have a tight turnaround, inform the ranger before the walk starts and they will work to accommodate your timing.
