based on 
Have your own transportation? Portage Glacier is truly worth the drive. The cruise takes only one hour, but it could be the most impressive 60 minutes of your life. Watch for huge chunks of ice to break away and crash into the lake.
If you have your own transportation, then a drive to Portage Glacier is truly worthwhile. As you skirt the shores of Turnagain Arm, watch for wildlife. When you arrive at Lake Portage, board the M/V Ptarmigan for an unforgettable one hour cruise across iceberg-dotted Portage Lake. Take a seat in the enclosed lounge or on the open-air observation deck. The cruise is narrated by a representative of the U.S. Forest Service. The cruise will conclude at the original departure point, allowing you to continue your drive at leisure.
