This hike was very difficult and took 6 hours. the elevation change was drastic, basically climbing for 4.1 miles and then descending the same. The ice field is 700 square miles and is several thousand feet deep. It dates back to the Pleistocene era, 23,000 years ago. Approximately 30 glaciers are fed by this field. We both feel lucky to have witnessed this beautiful place before climate change takes it away.
