On a clear day, the Kaxdigoowu Heen Dei trailhead and the nearby Brotherhood Bridge both offer excellent views of Mendenhall Glacier. Massive even from a distance, this sheet of ice creeps downward from mountains that may remain snow-capped well into the summer.

Watch for ongoing views of the glacier as you hike this trail, plus expansive wildflower meadows, and the mighty Mendenhall River flowing to the east of the trail.

Numerous side trails offer you opportunities to explore. The main trail itself is paved and accessible for wheelchairs and strollers.
