We start on a well-maintained national park trail and proceed 1.6 miles up into the mountains. This portion of the trip takes about an hour to an hour and a half. During the hike, our knowledgeable guides identify many of the native plants and flowers and also use the landscape's unique features to explain basic glaciology. Quite frequently we see black bears, moose, and marmots along the way.
When we reach the ice, we don crampons, ice axes, and helmets. This gear lets us safely navigate the icy, undulating terrain of Exit Glacier. It also lets us confidently approach the crevasses, waterfalls, moulins, and ice-caves that we encounter while exploring.
