★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very challenging hike for an inexperienced hiker - a lot of incline! But worth the views.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This tail was amazing to hike it was the first time I have done a trail like this... One of the best parts where the views, the second was the actual mountain goats that stopped in the middle of the road on the way to the trail!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You have to snowshoe 1.3km on the road to get to the actual trail head in the winter but it was well worth it! The first bit of the trail is on a beautiful easy path that meander's through the trees along the creek followed by a hill that's about 1km long. Easy fun trail! Bring snow shoes and crampons.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I loved this hike. Very easy hike all the way to the waterfall and alpine area. More difficult and steep after you reach alpine area to go to the glacier. Beautiful views

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very snowy and unused this early in the year (may long) but scenery was absolutely beautiful, I've done this trail before so I was able to navigate my way up to the scree , 6-8 feet of snow beyond that point , trail to that point is covered with snow and unmarked , definitely an adventure ? ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely stunning views on this hike. 10/10 recommend. Had to walk 1.2km past a gate down a dirt road, and then you get to the trailhead. First half of the hike is very easy, and then you get the the base of the glaciar. It's a very steep incline up a few hundred metres of jagged rock and moderate switchbacks. Once you're up on the glaciar it's a nice final trek up a moderately inclined ridge.
We are not expert hikers by any means, so this one definitely was one of the more difficult hikes we have done. Worth it. Took us about 5 hrs round trip (lots of stopping for pictures and breaks for the pup).
Also had no issues bringing our dog along with us. There are some spots where we had to be a bit extra careful, but nothing shocking.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This in and out Moderate to Hard trail was fun, diverse in its terrains and had a heck of a payoff at the top! It quickly become my favorite hike of the season.
Boasting a gorgeous walk through dense forest and beside a gentle glacial creek, to a hand over hand climb, to a windy ridge with amazing views of the glacier and the peaks beyond this trail has something for every one (if you have the skill and equipment for it).
The first half is pretty easy. Then it's a hard slog up to the ridge, from there a moderate walk on a lot of jagged rocks to the top.
10 out of 10, will hike again!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Three stages of hiking. 1. Walk through the trees (forest), 2. Climb a steep mountain and 3. The glacier area.
It's a hard hike but really worth the view from the top. There is a beautiful waterfalls at the beginning where you start climbing the mountain. You can get to the glacier as closer as you want.
