For a longer day hike, add this popular route to the Glacier Lake Trail loop. You'll pick up the trail heading south down the Saddle Trail, then climb a steep ridge above tree-line to alpine tundra, with great views of Kachemak Bay, Grewingk Glacier, and the glacial valley. In August, you'll find ripe blueberries. Retrace your steps and continue down the Saddle Trail to the Halibut Cove pickup. It is 5 miles out and back, plus Glacier Lake Trail loop (3.7 mi).
