If you were wondering if in our Alaska trip we went to hike also some glacier, the answer is yes. We did it and we loved it. The first hike we did was this one. 7 hours round trip hike to the top of Exit glacier. Exit glacier is one of the glaciers that forms the "Harding icefield". The icefield is absolutely enormous (if you have the chance check it on a map) and it is located in the Kenai Fjords National Park ...From far away Exit glacier it pretty big, but when you go to the visitor center you realize how much it did melt in the last 200 years ... sad to think that most likely all of tis is due to the CO2 that ou society is creating everyday ...The hike has been really nice. We had a lot of fun, but we had also some moment where we were really tired. As any hike and any important achievement in life, it has been a mix of pain, sweat and glorious views ... here some pictures ...... and of course like any great achievement, we felt like celebrating. We decided to celebrate with Nutella, the best of the mood lifters ... especially if you eat it from your finger ... yummy ... ... and on the way back to our car we went to see also the bottom of the glacier ... very nice and very accessible, something like 15 minutes roundtrip flat walk from the parking lot ...... not sure why we took a 7 hours roundtrip steep hike to see the same glacier ... maybe because we wanted to enjoy more our Nutella ... :D
