Arrive at the trailhead. Your guide will check that your clothing and footwear is adequate, and provide any other necessary gear, such as headlamps, or trekking poles, as needed. Enjoy scenic, mountainous views while hiking through the wilderness.

​
Arrive at the glacier! Experience the natural ice formations, and take in the beauty of the glacier toe, as it will not look the same next year! Summer glacier melt is normal, and changes the inside and outside of the glacier every year.
* Pro tip: This is a good time to hydrate and eat lunch before hiking back.

Take in the 360° alpine views one last time. This glacier is constantly changing, and will look completely different a year from now. Your experience was truly once in a lifetime. ​Arrive back at the cars! Part ways with your guide, and drive back to your accommodations.
