This is where your Glacier Hiking Adventure takes place. The hike up the mountain is approximately 1.5 miles, with 1,500 feet of elevation gain – this is the most physically exerting part of the trip. This is the part of the trip that requires the overall rating to be Strenuous.
8-Hour Tour:
The 8-hour tour departs at 8:00am and returns at 4:00pm. The whole tour will last about 8 hours in total, with the possibility of spending upwards of 2 to 4 hours on the ice! The “ice-time” all depends on how long the hike up the mountains takes as a group. We do not rush any part of this trip, and the group will move together at a comfortable pace.
*The 8-hr tour offers a more relaxed/flexible pace with more rest breaks, if needed.
