Экскурсия по берегу Джуно: поход по леднику Менденхолл

Обзор
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.

This was a great hike, incredibly scenic and beautiful and we were blessed with excellent weather. Due to the small size of our group, we were able to push on beyond a normal turnaround spot and getting a bit closer to the glacier than might otherwise happen. Our guide Bella was fantastic and the support that I received from Jess at the office in advance was excellent. Highly recommended!

Thank you for your wonderful review of your hike! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the scenic beauty and the opportunity to get closer to the glacier due to the small group size. It's fantastic that Bella provided you with an excellent guiding experience. We also appreciate your kind words about the support you received from Jess. We hope to see you again soon!

Taylor was awesome. We had a lot of fun. You hike up to see the glacier, but you dont get to go on the glacier. But it was a cool hike overall and I enjoyed it.

Taylor will be so thrilled to hear the kind words you have to say about her! It truly is such a fantastic experience to get out into nature and experience the Mendenhall Glacier in all of it's glory. Although it is true that you don't physically get on top of the glacier itself, it is such a special experience to get as physically close via land as you are able to. We are glad that you had such a great experience with Above an Beyond Alaska and look forward to having you join us again soon for another Alaskan Adventure.

We had an awesome hike with Josh and Taylor. The pace is fast and there are some really challenging inclines and rock scrambles (I wore hiking pants, but I should have gone a step further and worn pants with more stretch). My family of 5 (hubby and I, two teens and a 12 year old) joined 8 other adults. We relished the gorgeous sights, learned a lot about the glacier and had fun chatting with each other and the guides. The glacier is receding rapidly, I'm glad we got to see it while we still could.
