We loved this walk! Much further than you think but the guide was fantastic and knowledgeable and you get a lot of information about the glacier and how things were in the past. Highly recommend

Easy walking terrain. Great view of the glacier. Good learning experience of the history of the creation of the glacier and the trees and plants.

Beautiful walk…snacks for trip were non existent….only chocolate chip cookies! Crackers and cheese would be nice! No water offered! Hot chocolate on a hot day? Disappointed ! Thought we’d get closer to the glacier!
