In the summer every 90 minutes the Ptarmigan drive for $ 39 over the lake to the same named glacier. The one-hour tour is truly breathtaking, but clearly shows the transience of our glaciers.

In summer a tourist boat offers a tour from the easily accessible Northwest shore of the lake to see the Portage Glacier on the south shore. Before construction of the Whittier road tunnel, people would take a boat or sled across Portage glacier lake and carry (hence: portage) their loads across the easy pass on the southeast side to reach Whittier.
