Tip: You can also camp up here! However, there are no designated places or infrastructure. If you want to stay overnight, you should add your name to the list at the trailhead and make sure that the tent is at least 200 m away or out of sight of the trail on stone or snow.

The Harding Icefield is a huge field of ice and snow. And when I say huge, I mean that it goes beyond your imagination. This icefield "feeds" around 40 glaciers that "emerge" from it.
The hike there is the icing on the cake of a trip to Alaska. It takes you over 15 kilometers (there and back) and 1000 meters in altitude through the most beautiful picture-book landscape.
Magnificent views motivate you from the start to definitely walk the trail to the end.
