Important Notes: Our glacier trips cater to all ages and abilities, however, clients must be in good enough shape to hike for up to 6 hours, covering about 7 miles roundtrip. The hike to the glacier is challenging, and clients need to be in good physical condition.

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 hiking boots that provide good ankle support while hiking on the rocky terrain. For an average fit group, it takes about two hours to hike to the glacier. 

The elevation gain is about 500 feet. Circumstances such as poor weather, inadequate footwear, and a slow pace to the glacier may limit or prevent the opportunity to try ice climbing. If clients are more interested in ice climbing than glacier trekking, then we recommend they book a private ice climb trip with us.  A private trip allows them to spend more time on the glacier, and can be customized to their pace, ability, and schedule.

Cancellations:
$50 per person charge for trips cancelled by guests less than 14 days prior to trip departure date

100% non-refundable for trips cancelled by guests less than 7 days prior to trip departure date

We reserve the right to cancel any trip due to inadequate sign-ups, unsafe weather or route conditions, clients not meeting our physical requirements, in-proper  footwear worn by clients, and any other safety issues.  In such an event, a full refund is given if the trip has not yet departed, but WE are not responsible for additional expenses incurred (i.e., nonrefundable airline tickets, meals, accommodations, etc).
