The Experience
What your day looks like
Paddle your own packraft (similar to a kayak) along the rocky “moonscape” at the toe of the Kennicott Glacier. Explore new passages that change from summer to summer, giving you access to never-before-seen alcoves in the ice. Along the way, you’ll catch incredible views of the 7,000 ft Stairway Icefall and 16,390 ft Mt. Blackburn! This excursion is great for families with small children aged 3 or older or for visitors who have limited mobility but still want an adventure! As you explore the glacial lake, your guide will explain the glacial features you are seeing and how this surreal landscape was formed. You’ll even get the chance to step on the rock-covered surface of the Kennicott Glacier!
