After going about halfway up the Creekside of the Glacier Overlook Trail, this wayside offers stunning views of Exit Glacier.  Looking around, you might see that there are very few trees as you have gotten closer to Exit Glacier.  If you look away from the glacier towards the outwash plain, you will see a fuller deciduous forest.  Further still, you will see a spruce dominated forest indicative of the non-glaciated areas.  This is a great place to observe the succession of a forest after a glacier’s retreat.  Scientists have studied the plant life on the moraines to date the retreat of Exit Glacier
