The Exit Glacier Outwash Plain is a complex matrix of plant communities in various successional states interconnected with an abundance of game trails. The plant communities range from dense spruce and cottonwood forests to open shrubby gravel beds. The Exit Glacier Outwash Plain was formed from rushing meltwater streams redistributing sediment from Exit Glacier, and depositing it in recessional moraines across the outwash plain. To get to the outwash plain follow the signs from the Glacier Overlook Trail. Access out to the Outwash Plain can be limited due to Exit Creek.  Take Caution when crossing any water.
