We had a good breakfast at a local cafe and bought some sandwiches for a picnic lunch, then headed out for a bit of hiking to the glacier. The hike took about 3 hours through some beautiful mountain scenery and glacier views, although the trail was quite steep. Actually the hardest part came at a river crossing, where the trail ends on one bank and resumes across the quite deep and freezing cold river. The only other people we saw the whole time were two strange women who were dressed like they were going to the disco, tight jeans and ultra high heels. Actually they looked like hookers, but if they were they picked a really bad area to ply their trade in. Anyway, I have no idea how they climbed the trail in those outfits, but they didn't seem to think anything was out of the ordinary.
