Portage Glacier and Area Attractions

Portage may be a ghost town, the result of the 1964 Good Friday earthquake, but it is a bustling place during the summer. The main reason is Portage Glacier, a U.S. Forest Service recreation area and one of Alaska’s most visited attractions. You enter the area from Seward Highway along the Portage Glacier Access Road which winds pass a series of campgrounds and then arrives at the impressive Begich-Boggs Visitor Center, built in the 1990s to showcase the popular natural attraction.
