Harding Icefield hike @ Exit Glacier was by far the best hike I have ever done!
We had some idea what was ahead of us… but it didn’t compare to what the hike was really all about. The hike was supposed to be 7 miles and 1500 ft elevation (steep but not too bad) but it end up being 10 miles round trip with 3400 ft of elevation. But it was awesome!!! It was a solid climb for couple of hours. Few times we even had to scramble up a rock face and crawl through snow - but it all sure was worth it. The views and the nature all around us was unbeatable and it only got better when we tried to feed 
Ron to the bears and skied down the mountain on our shoes. Heather and I hated the boys quite a few times when we were trying to keep up with them up the hill but we forgave them as soon as we got to the top. I only wished we would have brought sled with us to go down on. And the black bear sighting… amazing… 30 feet away…Needless to say that we had hard time moving around once all was said and done…. It did take a toll on us, especially on Heather who was coughing her lungs out.
