Great hike to an amazing end!
We took our 8 and 10 year Olds, as well as our 60 and 70 year old parents. This hike is not overly strenuous, but there is some uphill and uneven terrain. If you're even in half way decent shape, you'll be good. You don't have to, but I recommend waterproof shoes so you can go into the basin area, and see the stream and :ice boulders", it was a cool experience. Worth the drive to Seward from Anchorage for the day.

Cool seeing a Glacier
Drove in the dark to arrive and hike the trail to Exit Glacier at dawn and we were the only people there. The trail is easy except for one part that you have to climb up on some black rocks. From there you could go through a field to another hill top. The Glacier has receded through the years and I don't think that trail took you right up to it. We had some good views of the Glacier along our trail. We were pressed on time so we ended our hike probably around 4 miles and turned back. We didn't see any wild life, but the board on the ranger building said that someone saw a moose hiking yesterday and someone else saw a bear yesterday. It was pouring down rain for part of our hike and the streams were flowing fast and high. We had to cross one stream on a board and when we were coming back through the water was higher. The best view of the Glacier was from a look out pull over coming into the park.
