Well worth the time to make this short hike and take a view of the glacier and hike on some snow! We were there late June and the snow was still pretty deep and hard to walk on. Some of the kids were even sledding on the snow! Nice view of the glacier from a distance as well. Would be even neater if you could hike up to the glacier, but still, the views were fantastic!

5 stars purely for the “bang for the buck you get”. Easy trail that leads you straight to the base of Byron glacier. The snow you see is avalanche snow. There’s a glacial brook flowing from under the snow and through the cracks. Theres a little rocky climb for a clearer view. We did that as well, not recommended as per the park signs but YOLO!
