After the turn off to Portage Glacier you will see sockeye salmon swimming upstream to spawn, as well as Moose and black bears in the area. Under that clear Alaska sky the glacial ice takes on a color that's unique and unforgettable.

Even if you didn't bring your children, you may want to visit Big Game Alaska. The entrance is across from the tunnel access road in Portage. The owner raised buffalo and elk as a hobby since 1984, and wildlife officials began putting orphaned moose in his care. Eventually his hobby transformed into the Wildlife Center that you see today.
