Would you have any advice on the viability of the trip above? I've tried to maintain it to two activities per day unless they're short :)
For Glacier, are the Iceberg Lake or Avalance Lake trails worth it over the Grinell Glacier Trail, or would you say it is possible to do them together in one day?
Thanks in advance!
