We took a guided glacier hike with Mike and it was one of the highlights of our Canadian trip. He was very knowledgeable and kept the group moving at a good pace - we were able to take pictures and enjoy the scenery and easily complete the hike. He shared his extensive knowledge and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the trip.
An Unforgettable Experience

What an awesome way to spend a sunny day! We appreciated the extra clothing we were provided to keep the hike enjoyable in the glacial winds. Tyler was an amazing guide, stopping often to teach us about glaciers as well as photo ops. We saw a crevasse and a glacial river & learned about the depth and age of the ice. I’m so glad we chose this way to enjoy the many glaciers instead of the bus. There was so much more to experience by having more time to be on the glacier.
Awesome experience!
