About Mendenhall Glacier Guided Hike :

Embark on the thrilling Mendenhall Glacier Guided Hike, a 6-7 mile adventure through the Tongass National Forest, the world's largest temperate rainforest. Begin your journey surrounded by majestic Sitka spruce and hemlock trees as your experienced guide leads you through lush wilderness. Navigate past beaver ponds and climb exposed bedrock where the trail fades into untamed terrain. With 800 feet of elevation gain over rocky, uneven, and slippery paths, this invigorating hike requires exceptional balance and sure-footedness. For a customized pace or a closer glacier experience, consider booking the Privately Guided Mendenhall Glacier Hike.
Emerge from the forest to breathtaking views of the Mendenhall Glacier's jagged facade and its majestic ice river. Pause on the final ridge to enjoy panoramic views, hearty snacks, and unforgettable photo opportunities. Marvel at the glacier's deep blue crevasses, cascading icefall, and the surrounding mountains, all framed by the mighty Nugget Falls. This adventure promises awe-inspiring natural wonders and memories to last a lifetime.
