We drop you at the Glacier Spit landing beach. The trail begins in dense Sitka spruce and cottonwood forest, winding along the coast before climbing gently toward the lake. The easy, scenic start to your glacier adventure.
03
The forest opens to reveal Grewingk Lake — a striking turquoise basin filled with floating icebergs calved from the glacier above. You'll have time to explore the shoreline, photograph the ice, and stand in awe of the glacier face. This is the heart of your day.
04
Continue along the Saddle Trail — a short climb over the forested ridge — to our pickup point at the Saddle Trail beach. Kick back on the rocks while you wait for the boat, then enjoy a scenic ride back to Homer Harbor as the afternoon light paints the bay.
Grace Ridge
Moderate to Difficult Difficulty Hike
$85 per person/round trip
01
Board the M/V Inlet Express at Homer Harbor for the scenic crossing to the south side of Kachemak Bay. The ride offers beautiful views of the Kenai Mountains and frequent wildlife sightings along the way.
02
We drop you at Quarry Beach, a rugged and remote landing spot on the south shore. From here the Grace Ridge trailhead is a short walk from the beach. This is where the adventure truly begins.
03
The trail climbs steeply through dense alder and spruce before breaking above treeline. This is a challenging hike with significant elevation gain, but every step reveals more of the bay below. Pace yourself and bring plenty of water.
04
Above treeline the ridge opens to sweeping 360-degree vistas of Kachemak Bay, the Kenai Mountains, and distant glaciers. On a clear day you can see across the entire bay to Homer and beyond. Savor the accomplishment — then enjoy a scenic boat ride back to Homer.
