Portage Glacier Cruise: Portage Glacier Visitor Center is just a 10 minute detour off the Sterling
Highway 45 miles south of Anchorage. From there the m/v Ptarmigan makes 5 (1 hour) trips
daily between May and September that will take you right up to the glacier. Longer trips are
also available. A great thing to do on your way down to Homer.
