Outside, a post gives visitors a place to set a camera, phone or tablet and take a series of pictures in a circle for the park’s citizen-science project. It’s a good reason to look around the surrounding forest in every direction.

Reach the kiosk on foot from the Exit Glacier Nature Center parking area via the accessible one-mile Glacier View Loop, which returns to the lot. At the kiosk, turn left to continue 0.6 mile on the Glacier Overlook Trail. Exit Glacier Road is usually inaccessible to cars under snow from late October to mid-May, so check road conditions before a shoulder-season trip.
