Reid Glacier sits inside Glacier Bay National Park, sharing a large icefield with Lamplugh Glacier, and Brady Glacier. It flows north into Reid Inlet off of Glacier Bay the actual bay.
You can get to Reid Glacier by a boat from Gustavus, or pass by it on a cruise ship. However to get on Reid Glacier the best option is chartering a flight with Mountain Flying Service out of Haines as the glacier face is steep, large and calving, and the mountains around it are steep fjords.
