Visitors to Ancorage must not miss the Portage Glacier. Located on the Kenai Peninsula, within Chugach National Forest, the Glacier lies fifty miles away from the downtown Anchorage Road. It is believed that, centuries ago, the Portage Glacier covered the entire expanse of the Portage Valley and ran 14 miles long. The Begich Boggs Visitor’s Centre was erected in 1986 as a viewing point to take in the breathtaking beauty of the Glacier. Today it cannot be viewed from here. There are separate boat tours that take visitors closer to the Galcier. Visit the famous glacier while staying at one of the many hotels in Anchorage AK and uncover its beauty and wonder. An ideal choice would be the Millennium Alaskan Hotel Anchorage, a lavish and hospitable resort among Hotels Anchorage offers, that provides star class amenities together with superior service to make your holiday a truly memorable one
