  1. We just returned from an awesome cruise on the Century, and the highlight of the week was easily this hike. Each day that started with an amazing whale watch in Icy Straight, followed by sunny skies and a half mile distance from Hubbard Glacier, we said it couldn't possibly get better... and then it did.

     

    It is not an easy hike by any stretch. It is about 3- 3.5 miles each way (6-7 total) with a decent amount of elevation gain, rough terrain, and slippery conditions after any rain. However, if you are in good shape, the destination is worth the effort.

     

    Make sure that when you hit the fork in the trail, you go down to the right and not up to the left. Otherwise you will not have an opportunity to touch / walk on the glacier and see the ice caves.

     

    I'll try to let the pictures speak for themselves. Let me know if you have any questions.
