Herman Glacier



I got within about 100 yards of the Herman Glacier. Water kept me from getting closer. There is a blue that oomes through the glacial ice when the sun is shining. The color is interesting.
There was raging water coming off the glacier and there was no easy way to get across and I had hiking shoes and not muk boots. By the way, Muk Books are the normal wear in Alaska. They are the rubber mud boots that people wear on farms in the lower 48. I try not to wear them for hiking.

This Herman Glacier trail is a geat bike trail and cross country skiing trail as well.
