Laughton Glacier sits at the head of a valley on the Tongass National Forest, about 1,000 feet above the Forest Service cabin. Get off the White Pass & Yukon Route train at the Glacier stop (mile 14), hike in about 1.5 miles to the cabin, then continue up the moraine to view the ice. Do not go onto the glacier without crevasse training.
