Walk through historic Kennicott and hike an interpretive trail to the ice. Cross the entire width of the Root Glacier, navigating creeks and icy ridges. Stop for blue pools, waterfalls and moulins. Keep your camera ready for big views of Stairway Icefall, Donoho Peak and Mount Blackburn. Top it off with a hidden lake where glaciated peaks reflect in the mirrored surface, and birds overhead make it feel like an oil painting come to life. The return trip to Kennicott offers opportunities for variations in route to see more of the glacier on the way home. It&#8217;s a full day of hiking and the payoff is worth it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Duration:<\/strong> 7-9 hrs<br \/><strong>Difficulty:<\/strong> Medium &#8211; Hard  <a id=\"overlay_unique_id_8194\" href=\"#open\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"info-icon\" style=\"width: 15px;\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/info-icon.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Crossing a big Alaskan valley glacier<\/li>\n<li>Variety of hiking terrain: trails, glaciers, light bushwacking<\/li>\n<li>Donoho Falls, a waterfall running under the glacier<\/li>\n<li>Views of big peaks from the lakes<\/li>\n<li>Potential to see birds and bears<\/li>\n<li>Views of Mt.

Walk through historic Kennicott and hike an interpretive trail to the ice. Cross the entire width of the Root Glacier, navigating creeks and icy ridges. Stop for blue pools, waterfalls and moulins. Keep your camera ready for big views of Stairway Icefall, Donoho Peak and Mount Blackburn. Top it off with a hidden lake where glaciated peaks reflect in the mirrored surface, and birds overhead make it feel like an oil painting come to life. The return trip to Kennicott offers opportunities for variations in route to see more of the glacier on the way home. It&#8217;s a full day of hiking and the payoff is worth it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Duration:<\/strong> 7-9 hrs<br \/><strong>Difficulty:<\/strong> Medium &#8211; Hard  <a id=\"overlay_unique_id_8194\" href=\"#open\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"info-icon\" style=\"width: 15px;\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/info-icon.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Crossing a big Alaskan valley glacier<\/li>\n<li>Variety of hiking terrain: trails, glaciers, light bushwacking<\/li>\n<li>Donoho Falls, a waterfall running under the glacier<\/li>\n<li>Views of big peaks from the lakes<\/li>\n<li>Potential to see birds and bears<\/li>\n<li>Views of Mt.
