Tips:

• The trail is essentially flat and can be done by nearly anyone with any physical ability
• While the glacier has receded quite a bit, it often forms interesting ice caves to explore; this caves can be extremely dangerous and should only be entered in peak winter months (Jan-Mar) and at your own risk; please do not enter these in the summer time
• This is a nice trail to pair with the Portage Glacier boat tour which is also easily accessible for any physical ability
