Have you ever walked on a glacier?

[VGNonly]

In 1966 with my family, we were at the Columbia Icefield in Jasper and Banff NP, adjacent to Alberta and British Columbia Canada. Then you could drive to it, walk a short distance then ride a Snowcat to the glaciers.

In 1974 I backpacked to the Mummy Range in Rocky Mountain NP Colorado. We climbed Hague's Peak, almost 13,600 feet, highest elevation I've ever reached. Near there is Rowe Glacier, small then, I wonder if it still exists?

1. West Beckwith Mountain

Above Lost Lake off of Kebler Pass in Colorado. Small glacier was there for years as I made many treks with children and friends. Gone by way of the Climate Change. I can see the back side of the mountain from my deck.

2. I hiked up to Bow Glacier in Banff. It was pretty but there

were pools of water in various bright colours there. It was a little odd. Years later I found out there was fallout from Siberian nuclear tests at places like Bow glacier. Don't think they were related.

3. Mendenhall Glacier in 1986. Glacier water was very

different.
In 1993, my BIL left me alone on an iceberg for an hour as they motored out of sight. Hoped they would find their way back after a while.

one in Antarctica.

7. I went the same year!!

I remember that even at that time there were already markers showing the glacier's position in earlier years, and it was clear that the glacier was receding.
