Randonnée sur le glacier de Mendenhall

Aperçu
Experience the Mendenhall Glacier Guide Hike, a thrilling 6-7 mile adventure! Your journey begins with a 3-mile trek through the Tongass National Forest, the world's largest temperate rainforest. Your experienced guide will lead you through this wilderness, winding past beaver ponds and scrambling up exposed glacial terrain, where the trail fades into the wild.

Upon emerging from the forest and reaching the final ridge, you'll be greeted by the breathtaking view of the Mendenhall Glacier's jagged facade and its ice river. Here, we savor panoramic views of the glacier, indulge in hearty snacks, and capture awe-inspiring photos. Gaze upon the glacier's deep blue crevasses, cascading icefall, surrounding mountains and Nugget Falls.

This hiking tour is not for the faint of heart; it demands exceptional balance and sure-footedness. The trail includes 800 feet of elevation gain, through rocky, uneven, and slippery terrain. It's a memorable journey that promises unforgettable views.

I wish I was writing a review of the great time we had on the Mendenhall Glacier hike. Instead, because Princess let us get onto a broken down boat that had no chance of making the published itinerary, I’m writing a review of the great customer service we received from Above and Beyond AK. Although our Captain couldn’t tell us what time we were getting to Juneau apparently they could communicate to the tour operators. On the afternoon before our arrival we got a text and email from ABAK saying they had been informed our arrival would be too late for the tour and they were canceling and refunding our tour. We had booked directly through ABAK and had been concerned that getting a refund would be an issue. Fortunately for us, ABAK is an honest and forthright company. I hope we’ll be able to make it back to Juneau someday and will definitely book with ABAK.

Kayley was a wonder guide. She went out of her way to help those who needed help. I was one of them. On the hard parts for me, she was right there guiding my foot placement and coaching me with kind, loving words. Thank you kayley.!!!

We had a fabulous day hiking in the rain with Ben. I wasn't sure how the day was going to go since it was raining, but that didn't stop us! We hiked over gorgeous terrain and Ben was patient and fun with our 2 kids. The sky ended up clearing right when we arrived at the glacier so we got beautiful views both foggy and and sunny. As it states, you can't actually touch the glacier, its now separated by a small lake from the land.. so dont expect to touch or get on it in any way. I knew that, but I did not understand that there is actually no access to the glacier at all. The pictures of all that blue glacier are from previous years. That being said, it was an awesome day and one we will not soon forget! Highly rec doing the private group tour! It was awesome for our family!
