Went on the Glacier Discovery Float Very cool that this trip includes the train ride from Girdwood or Anchorage. It's cool to get off the train at Spencer lake where no cars can access and then load up the raft and gear at the end of the trip straight from the river. Spencer Glacier is fantastic and to raft among the glacial icebergs at the start of the trip rocked! We were able to get up close enough to the icebergs to reach out and touch them. The mountains along the river are really beautiful. The guides were fun and knowledgeable. They managed the trip and group very well from the moment we made it to the train station. I would highly recommend this trip for a fun & relaxing day in Alaska!
