8-Hour Tour:
We offer an 8-hour tour from 9:00am to 5:00pm, daily from mid-May to mid-September. The whole tour will last about 8 hours in total, with the possibility of spending upwards of 1 to 3 hours on the ice – contingent on trail and glacier conditions, and the overall pace of the group. There is no guarantee of a predefined amount of ice time as every group, and everyday is different.
*The 8-hr tour offers a more relaxed/flexible pace with more rest breaks, if needed.
Ice Time:
The amount of time you spend on the glacier (“Ice Time”) largely depends on how long it takes us, as a group, to hike up the mountain and make it to the side of the glacier. Some groups move quickly and have a lot of ice time, some groups move slower, resulting in less ice time. Our goal is to get everyone on the ice safely, regardless of how much time we’ll be on the glacier.
