Tour description

Into the Timeless Gorge: Where Glaciers Carved and Wildlife Thrives

Immerse yourself in a landscape sculpted by time itself: this deep canyon was carved over millennia by torrents born from melting glaciers after the last ice age. Our trail along its edge gently rises and falls above a dramatic, water-filled chasm. Photographers will be thrilled by the numerous opportunities for breathtaking compositions. A crucial note: Please maintain a safe distance from the cliffs, as surfaces can become extremely slick, particularly following rainfall.

This vibrant ecosystem is a sanctuary for nature's inhabitants. Keep an eye out for various raptor species soaring overhead, and perhaps even the tell-tale claw marks of brown bears on nearby trees. Depending on the season, the trail offers edible treasures: cloudberries in July, and plump blueberries in August. After approximately 1 mile, we discover a cozy small shelter – the perfect spot to unpack your picnic and savor the surroundings.

For those eager to delve deeper, an optional descent allows you to reach the base of the column, offering a unique perspective and unparalleled opportunities for water-level photography within the canyon. Our journey concludes by retracing the same memorable path back.

This remarkable hike can be undertaken in all seasons. During winter, we explore the route on snowshoes, though please be aware that the snowy conditions extend the trek to roughly twice its summer length.
