Our full day glacier hikes can take you closer to the enormous
Stairway Icefall – 5,000 vertical feet of broken glacial ice sliding
down a steep hillside – much like a glacial waterfall.

Crampons give you the traction you need to walk on ice,
and we have crampons for almost any shoe.

Our guides will explain the forces at work in, on and under the glacier.

The sapphire blue pools are crystal clear and ice cold – a
delight for the eye and a pleasure for the palette.

For you polar bears in training – how about a dip?

The Boniek family, top 20 finalists at the Lake Minchumina World Rock
Skipping Championship, find a narrow crevasse pool to test their skills.

 

You’ll get beautiful views of Castle Rock and the
ridgelines that parallel the glacier.

We always like to stop and smell the wildflowers.

Lots of photo ops – even at our lunch spot!
