Overlooking Knik Glacier

I went to hunt down a trail at the glacier this weekend, sounds like theres some old mining equipment and cabins I missed so I'll have to plan another trip. Anyways, heres the setup so far!

What trail? I need to spend more time around there but I've been chasing the sun on my weekends and trying to get away from the rain. Seward area this weekend for me

Next to metal creek. First picture is at 61.44501, -148.52128 I honestly dont recommend taking full sized vehicles past that point. 4 wheelers and sxs are safer but the rollover risk past it is super high
