Hiking
The first 3.5 miles (5.6 km) of this trail is a wide, gravel path through the forest. However, after that point the trail narrows considerably, and in some places may be brushy, eroding into the water, or even completely flooded during periods of heavy rain or snow/ice melt.
When the trail is passable, it deposits you on the glacier moraine (rock deposits left in the glacier's passage) with clear views of the glacier ice.
Watch out for people riding mountain bikes in the first section of trail, or walking them in the more technical sections that follow.
