On a clear day, you can see the glittering blue ice of several hanging glaciers from this trail (look up in the mountains, and you'll understand why they're called "hanging" glaciers). That said, there's plenty of pretty trailside scenery too, including several ponds, a gravel nature trail you'll want to dismount and walk, and even a few campgrounds.
