Well, Trevor says this

“This route kicks ass. It also kicks people’s butts. “This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” is often said along the way.

People who are used to hiking ten miles a day easily, struggle with four miles. It always throws something new at you.

Take the words “Off-trail” very seriously before you sign up for this puppy! Expect short sections of mandatory bushwhacking. A mile might take you a couple of hours. The glacier day is long. That being said, my first time doing this I had an 18 year old kid and a 65 year old man. They both did great.

The hiking will move slower than you expect. And now that I’ve intimidated you … Go do it! Its includes some of the most incredible landscape you’ll ever see. The flight over is unbelievable in itself. Its beauty will stay with you for the rest of your life.”
