Itinerary description
Glacier viewpoint, waterfalls.
Although national park leaflet suggests most of vthis trail in reverse as an extension to the glacier viewpoint hike, a park ranger suggested doing it in this direction as you ascend towards the glacier and so have better view of it, rather than walking away from it. Also someone recommended the extension to see the second glacier. The first half of walk was nice and quiet and we encountered more people during the easy descent at the end.
