05/29/19 – Exit Glacier, Kenai-Fjord National Park

We left the motorhome in the parking spot and went to the Kenai-Fjord National Park Visitor Center with plans to join the 11:00 ranger walk with hopes that it wouldn’t be rained out (forecasted for the day). It was drizzling a little, not windy and we dressed in layers and took our raincoats with. You don't have to hike to the glacier with a ranger, but we thought maybe we'd get more information.

Ranger Ann has been at Kenai-Fjord National Park since 2005. She and her husband are from southern Florida and come back every summer (because of grandchildren, she said, but she loves the area and her job). During our walk, she would stop and tell us about the trees or the animals, the history of the glacier, etc. She showed us pictures of how Exit Glacier has been changing.
