Beskrivelse
Oplev Mendenhall Glacier Guide Hike, et spændende eventyr på 6-7 mil! Din rejse begynder med en 3-mile-vandring gennem Tongass National Forest, verdens største tempererede regnskov. Din erfarne guide vil føre dig gennem denne vildmark, snoede sig forbi bæverdamme og klatre op ad det udsatte gletsjerterræn, hvor stien forsvinder ud i naturen. Når du kommer ud af skoven og når den sidste højderyg, vil du blive mødt af den betagende udsigt over Mendenhall-gletsjerens takkede facade og dens isflod. Her nyder vi panoramaudsigt over gletsjeren, forkæler os med solide snacks og tager ærefrygtindgydende billeder. Se på gletsjerens dybe blå sprækker, brusende isfald, omkringliggende bjerge og Nugget Falls. Denne vandretur er ikke for sarte sjæle; det kræver enestående balance og sikker fodfæste. Stien inkluderer 800 fods højdestigning gennem stenet, ujævnt og glat terræn. Det er en mindeværdig rejse, der lover en uforglemmelig udsigt.

We had an amazingly beautiful hike, and an amazingly knowledgeable and kind guide! Transportation to and from the hike was on time and comfortable, and the trip was incredibly scenic.
Had a fantastic time hiking with Reina in a small group of 8 on the 23 June. She is very personable and managed to make everyone feel very welcomed while keeping us safe, sharing her knowledge and making sure no one gets left behind. Great humour and wonderful group altogether. It was great to get away from the busy tourist towns to experience this. There are some rock scrambling towards the end but Reina gave great instructions and made it an easier experience. Loved the encouraging high fives she gives at the end of a climb. The bonus was having a group that hiked quickly that we get to spend 30 mins at the peninsula before hiking back.
Beautiful view of the glacier, hike can be challenging at certain parts. Enjoyed our guide Heather!!!!! She was very informative and made the trip
This was a great, challenging hike with views that made it worth the effort. Julia was a fantastic guide and was super helpful.
Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the hike and found the incredible views worth the challenge. It's great to hear that your guide made your experience even better. We appreciate you joining us and hope to see you again on another Alaska adventure!
Enjoyed a great hike to Mendenhall Glacier, Katie and Reyna were our guides and they were the most positive, happy and helpful guides ever! It was really beautiful and not a hard 6 mile (total) hike. The four of us are in our 60's and it was completely fine, if you're in decent shape. Would highly recommend it. Did not walk on the glacier (this part was a bit confusing to us), but decided we were actually good with that.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your hike to Mendenhall Glacier and had such a positive experience with Katie and Reyna—they’ll be happy to hear your kind words. We also appreciate you sharing your perspective on the hike difficulty and the glacier access, as that’s very helpful for future guests. Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to see you again!
We did the Mendenhall Glacier Guides Choice Trail with Hailee on August 30th. Hailee was absolutely great she had great information on the landscape and Glacier, she was very personable and to my amazement learned everyone's name in the group. She also took the time to take as many pictures as we wanted. Great experience would highly recommend.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time on the hike and that Hailee made it so memorable. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Juneau in the future!
Reina and Katie were excellent guides, very passionate about nature and considerate towards the group. They helped us go everywhere we wanted to on the hike but also provided great easier options for any who weren’t comfortable. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you so much for your review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your time with Reina and Katie. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope you join us again for another adventure!
This is a hard hike but so worth it. The guide Heather was so good at telling you where to place your feet and hands when it comes to the scrambling part. Heather was informative about the area, knew the answers to all of our questions. Highly recommend if you want quite a challenge to reach views like no other.
Alyssa, thank you so much for your review! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time with Heather and got some beautiful rewarding views. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Great hike with our informative and helpful guide Randy. Nice views and photo opps. Nice smallish group, which meant there was time to ask questions. Recommend waterproof boots as it is a good track but wet !
We're so glad you enjoyed the hike and the beautiful views! Thank you for this review and for making us a part of your time in Alaska!
Great hike, great guide, great comms, great company. Adventurous hike (wet/slippery, varied terrains, scrambles) - exactly what we wanted!
Wow, thank you for this kind review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed every aspect of your experience with us from the communication to the tour itself. We appreciate you choosing us and hope to see you on the trail again someday!
