a year agoVisiting the Chugach National Forest & Portage area is really a must if you visit this part of Alaska and it is kind of a seasonal requirement if you live here. Absolutely spectacular beauty and, unfortunately, a visual representation of how quickly our glaciers are receding (there are many visible in the valley and many which used to be in recent memory but no longer are). There are campgrounds, picnic areas, leisurely and accessible trails and more challenging hiking areas. People recreate in all the expected ways on these lands…and they are managed with love and care. The river is quick and has drops offs, and it is glacially fed meaning it is silty and cold. Make sure to use appropriate safety precautions if venturing out on it and by the banks.
