Trail Overview
This incredible trail starts in a deep valley before climbing to run parallel to the Canwell Glacier along a steep bank of rocky moraine. While the drive is not difficult, it will require high clearance and a good tolerance for heights! There are drop offs on either side of the narrow trail, with the scree-covered glacier hundreds of feet below, but it is wide enough for a full size truck or SUV.
