Running
Compared to the crowds you'll usually find near the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center, this is a relatively quiet loop through the temperate rainforest. Expect runnable but semi-technical footpath, interspersed with tree roots and occasional planks/boardwalks and stairs that can be slippery when wet.
As always when running in Alaska, be alert to the possibility of unexpected wildlife encounters.
