beginning of glacier trek with Mt. Moffitt in the background.
 

The 1½ mile hike to the glacier from camp is a very easy hike on this kame terrace.
Caribou, sheep, bear, wolves and marmot can be seen as well as spectacular scenery.
 

This beautiful green meadow leads right down onto the glacier with
majestic Mt. Moffit rising 8500 feet from its base which is only 2 miles away.
 

Caribou are often seen on the glacier during the summer
trying to escape the bugs and cooling off.
 

The glacier offers many opportunities for interesting and unusual photographs.
 

Beautiful and unusual rocks cover the glacier.
 

And a refreshing drink from a glacial stream.

Grizzly bears are commonly seen throughout summer and fall. These
three are enjoying the abundance of blueberries.
 

The beauty of Mt. Hayes and surrounding alpine
areas in their fall colors is unparalleled.
 

Fall provides fantastic opportunities for photographing moose
as the move into alpine areas for breeding season.
