Itinerary description
This is an easy and extremely beautiful hike that will take you to the face of a glacier coming down like a frozen cascade through the mountain range.
To do this hike you will need to take the White Pass & Yukon Route train to Laughton Glacier stop, which I believe is mile 7 and begin walking from there.
It will depend how the glacier conditions are that you will be able to get closer to the face or not.
The use of crampons is necessary for this hike.
Bear spray is recommended.
