A few of the mountain peaks through Portage Pass near Whittier, Alaska in the USA remain scattered with snow during the summer even when the sun beats down on them. Hiking at this time of year in Portage Pass is beautiful from atop these mountains as the sun sparkles off the water in Prince William Sound.
Hiking up the first part of the Portage Pass trail, one will find the scenery fairly blase and a continuous climb up steep inclines. The higher you climb, the more inspiring the scenery is as the first lookout highlights the Portage Glacier and Portage Lake. Along the east side of the pass, one can view waterfalls cascading over the glacial valley walls where may trails branch off in different directions. A beautiful hiking experience which brings out the incredible beauty of Alaska, USA.
