Eklutna Glacier (Dena'ina: Idlu Bena Li'a) is a land-terminating valley glacier about 6 miles (10 km) long covering about 11 square miles (29 square km), with two branches that join above the terminus. Its runoff feeds Eklutna Lake, Anchorage's main source of drinking water and hydroelectric power. The glacier is shrinking. Views come from the upper Eklutna Lakeside Trail.
