A hike to the Mendenhall Glacier was a must for our trip this summer to Juneau. We hadn't been there for probably 2 1/2 years and needed to find this AWESOME ice cave everyone was telling us about. So, off we went. Took a little over an hour to hike out to the glacier and to the ice cave.
It is hard to describe the beauty found in these caves. This one is the best I have been in here in Juneau. A small creek ran down the mountain and into the glacier forming this cave. We followed it down, stepping on many rocks that have just recently been covered by a glacier, for who knows how long. At the end of the tunnel or cave, there is a large opening/hole that goes up to the sky. Tons of water was dripping down the sides and once in the center, under the hole, it felt like you were getting dumped on by rain.
Nice blue huh?
I have a the best husband. He goes on all these hikes with me!
Here is the dirty part of the glacier, Brian is on it right now, looking for the hole that goes down to the tunnel. Fun times!!!
