Stunning Scenery
Couples loved the views! The glacier was breathtaking. Perfect for photos and memories.
Romantic Hike
Perfect for couples. Enjoyed a scenic drive, waterfalls and stunning alpine views together.
Easy Adventure
The hike was a great moderate challenge. Loved the swing bridge and forest walk together.
Rough Road
The unsealed road was tough on our car. It made the journey a bit stressful at times.
Weather Concerns
Weather can change fast. We were glad we had proper gear but it was a worry.
Avalanche Risk
During certain months, access is restricted, which was disappointing for our trip.
