    I took this hike solo while my husband was on a work trip, I am so glad I did! So convenient , they pick you up and drop you off at your hotel. Bill was an amazing guide with tremendous knowledge of the area and glacier. It was a gorgeous day with new snowfall. The glacier is breathtaking, it felt like you were on a different planet. The silence and serenity is indescribable, breathtaking! The restaurant for lunch was great! I would highly recommend this tour!

    The tour is amazing! Our guide is Bill. He is professional and knows a lot to the glacier. The beautiful weather makes the scenery even more surprising! The only flaw is the lunch included is just not bad not good…but you can have a good view in the restaurant.

    A highlight of our Alaska trip, an excursion that we hope to do again, it was truly an amazing day on the glacier:) Our guides Bill and Dawn were fantastic, a lot of passion, knowledge and respect for this beautiful place. We had a great time on the glacier and then a delicious meal with our small group at a lodge overlooking the glacier. Although it was gloomy in Anchorage when we left, the sun was shining 2 hours north east from it and casting beautiful light on the glacier. The hike itself is easy, the crampons provided are just perfect to ensure a safe walk. Highly recommend this activity, it’s probably a rare place where you can access a glacier easily from a road, and without having to be an skilled mountaineer to experience this beautiful icy landscape. Thanks again Bill & Dawn!
