Very easy approach. Don't forget to brush your feet before you enter. They have a board that mentions the animals that have been spotted on the trail. When it's raining it's a little more slippery but very doable. Friendly people on the trail and it's very well maintained.

One of the coolest free things to do in Alaska. The Exit Glacier is like 10 minutes away from the Seward Cruise Port. You can do like 1.5 Mile hike. There are plaques showing where the Glacier was and how it’s receding over the years.

Short and simple trail, nice view but not really close to the glacier. Better do the Harding Icefield trail!
