There is a visitor's center with rangers at the Mendenhall Glacier.  The paths are paved with asphalt. Very accessablie. You can't get close to the glacier because Lake Mendenhall is in front of it.  There is a beautiful waterfall  beside the glacier.  You can catch a city bus to the glacier or take other tours that go there.  I think most tours will drop you off and you can spend as much or as little amount of time at the glacier as you like.
