We Provide: Certified guide, mountaineering gear, backpack, rain jacket and pants, hearty snack/bottled water, roundtrip transportation.
You Bring: Comfortable hiking shoes or boots, comfortable hiking pants, warm hat, fleece gloves, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
IMPORTANT NOTE: ** Our glacier trips cater to all ages and abilities, however, you must be in good enough shape to hike for up to 5 hours, covering about 7 miles roundtrip. The hike to the glacier is challenging, and will take approximately 7 hours roundtrip for a group in good physical fitness condition. Due to the various fitness abilities and weather on this trip, please allow 7-8 hours roundtrip. If you prefer a slower pace, please let us know.
**The first mile of the trail is well maintained and goes through forests with a few switchbacks. The second half of the trail is off the beaten path and requires hiking on bedrock with some rock scrambling on steep sections. It's important to have sturdy shoes or boots that provide good ankle support while hiking on the rocky terrain. For a relatively fit group, it takes about two hours to hike to the glacier. The elevation gain is about 300 feet.
**We prefer clients not schedule other excursions directly before or after our trip. Please let us know if you do have another excursion booked on the same day, as we need to make a note of this in your booking form.
* Family Friendly Adventure Minimum Age Requirement: 12 years old (For families with children under 12, we can customize a private trip.) The smallest shoe size we can accommodate with crampons is size 2. **If clients prefer a slower pace, please book a private trip. This is very important. If any of you sign up for a regular trip and your pace is so slow that it significantly does not meet the pace of the rest of the group, then we will need to hire another guide to assist you on trail and will charge you an additional $300 guide fee.
