Put on some crampons and discover one of nature's wonderful ice sculptures, Portage Glacier. You'll be awed by the vivid shades of blue found across this frozen terrain.

We absolutely loved our stay at Alyeska! We visited in October, and even during the off-peak season, there is plenty to enjoy. The spa is not to be missed!! The series of pools and stream rooms were incredible. Don’t miss the circuit of various hot tubs and saunas in the woods! Plan to stay the day in the spa to enjoy dinner, drinks, massages, and more. Our room in the hotel was well-appointed, the selection of restaurants was great, and the bar area was a lovely place to hang in the evening on the weekend. You won’t regret this stay!!

Verified traveler

Portage area can be a great place to go including the visitor center. New Year's Eve day, the roads were not well maintained, parking lot was not plowed and the weather was bad - wind and sleet. The photo I am adding is from a great day this past April.

5/5 - Excellent
