I was slightly hesitant before the tour but can't recommend it more after the tour. We had so much fun paddling through Mendenhall Lake in light rain and drizzling. The tour provided high quality rain coats, rain boots, gloves, helmet, and trekking pole. Our two wonderful guides, Dawson and Mike, are not only kind and considerate, but also experienced and knowledgeable of glacier and geology. They're great young men more mature than their stated age. We totally enjoyed our trip!
