We did a glacier tour. Since it was winter, we were the only ones on the tour. Our guide took us almost all the way up to where there was literally no one. The feeling of being alone on a glacier was just great!

I am glad that I opted for a longer glacier hike. It allowed for a more in depth experience on the glacier to see more features and spend more time on it. Incredibly gorgeous with the winter time golden hour lighting
