Castner Glacier Access Road
Castner Creek access, Richardson Highway milepost 217.3 reference, Delta Junction area, AK
About this trail
Castner Glacier’s summer approach begins near Richardson Highway milepost 217.3. BLM describes an unimproved road along the north side of Castner Creek for about half a mile, followed by a footpath toward the glacier. The road ends before the glacier: do not drive onto the footpath, creek bed or glacier. Winter access is different, and BLM-managed glacier areas are closed to snowmachines October 15 through May 15. Routes are unmaintained and unmarked. Check current access and parking conditions with BLM; rapid weather changes, rockfall and changing water levels create serious hazards. The pin is BLM’s published access-area reference, not a glacier driving destination.
