About Byron Glacier Valley:

On the Portage Glacier Road, continue past the Williwaw Viewing Area and Middle Glacier Canyon. When the road forks near the Visitor Center, go right, following the signs for Portage Glacier Cruises. Continue for another mile and park in the Byron Trailhead parking area. Follow the trail out of the parking area, curving right into Byron Valley. From the end of the trail, continue up the valley past a large mound of boulders and cross the stream to the east, then look for the only climbable rock in the valley tucked into the southeast corner. The large smooth slab closest to the valley floor has most of the routes. Routes are listed from left to right (north to south).
