Steep Creek

A network of ground-level and elevated walkways next to the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center, reached from both visitor-center parking lots. Spawning salmon swim under the walkway, and black and brown bears come to feed on them from July through September. In summer, interpreters on the trail manage bear and visitor interactions; follow their instructions. Beavers have also reshaped Steep Creek with dams and lodges. No restrooms or potable water at the site itself.
