Visit The Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area:

If you would like to get up close and personal with an actual glacier, there is no place better than Alaska. A block of ice stretching 12 miles from the Juneau Icefield to Mendenhall Lake makes up the the Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area. At its widest point, the glacier is more than a half mile wide, with ice 300 to 1,800 feet deep. The US Forest Service Recreation Area is also a good place for black bear viewing between the months of June and October.
