Shannon was a fantastic guide, and I would highly recommend this tour. The hike is about 3.5 miles, and I would consider it on the easier side of moderately challenging with about 600 feet of elevation gain. Shannon did an excellent job of setting the scene and explaining the history, flora, and fauna of the area. The views were amazing throughout the hike. Because we are used to hiking, we made quick progress. I casually mentioned that one of our favorite things about hiking was seeing waterfalls. Shannon quickly suggested that because we were making such good time, we could add in an optional mile or so hike to Nugget Falls from the visitor center. This proved to be the highlight of our trip. Overall, this is a truly excellent tour. I would not book this if you have any mobility issues or if you are not someone who enjoys hiking.

We had a wonderful hiking experience hiking the old railroad trails near the Mendenhall glacier. Gene, our guide was excellent is sharing knowledge about the rainforest environment, the history of the area, and the changes that a warming environment are making near the glacier. The hike was 4 miles with 800 feet of elevation gain, so Gene was patient with our group of flat landers throughout. The free custom water bottles were awesome too! Great experience and would highly recommend!
