We were lucky to have a sunny day and the hike was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Morgan, is a very nice and professional young lady. We really enjoyed her company and her knowledge about the glacier. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Alaska.

We chose this tour from several options that Albert recommended. The outfitter was absolutely first class compared to others we saw on the glacier. Albert was very very helpful with our planning offerings activity suggestions, restaurant recommendations and general information that we found helpful.
