    A top 10 hike to remember. We had beautiful views all the way up to the glacier.

    Absolutely stunning views as you climb towards the glacier. Passing through a small waterfall was an added bonus. You have the option of cutting off some distance by using a ferry boat(s) over one or two lakes. Unforgettable.
