Hike not for the timid

lisa_l, Jul 2025
Artic Adventures and the guide were excellent. I gave the trip three stars because the description is deceiving. The hike is touted as going through thermal valleys and snow fields. They left out hiking up stairs without rails or ropes to cross over narrow ridges. The trail is pure muck. Not hiking shoes or hiking boots, galoshes are needed. We hiked only part way and then returned to the parking lot to follow a well marked path. The younger participants completed the loop. Overall we had a good day but wished we had been better advised on the hike.

Another planet!

Absolutely incredible experience the views were nothing like we've seen before. It's like another planet. Our tour guide was efficient and helpful in walking with us through the hike and got us back quickly! The trail was doable and our tour guide had good pace.
