Hiking
Burns Creek is more of an obstacle than it might appear at first. Its water is fast, cold, and full of silt that makes it hard to judge the depth or spot ankle-twisting boulders littered around the stream bed.
If you do choose to cross and continue toward the face of the glacier, please remember that it's very dangerous to walk on the glacier ice or in close proximity to it; falling chunks of ice could crush you.
