Brad and I took the "Guide's Choice Adventure Hike" in the temperate rain forest near the Mendenhall Glacier. We had a group of six who were all up for a real hike. To actually reach the glacier is a 6 mile hike each way; we didn't have time to reach it and actually hike on the glacier, although we did hear plenty of helicopters making the trip. I think all in our little group plan to take the Worthington Glacier hike in Valdez where we will strap on our crampons and hit the ice.
