Glacier Crest Trail

Address:
Glacier National Park of Canada, British Columbia, Canada

Glacier Peak or Dakobed is the most isolated of the five major stratovolcanoes of the Cascade Volcanic Arc in the U.S state of Washington. Located in the Glacier Peak Wilderness, the volcano is visible from the west in Seattle, and from the north in the higher areas of eastern suburbs of Vancouver such as Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam. The volcano is the fourth tallest peak in Washington state, and not as much is known about it compared to other volcanoes in the area. Local Native Americans have recognized Glacier Peak and other Washington volcanoes in their histories and stories. When American explorers reached the region, they learned basic information about surrounding landforms, but did not initially understand that Glacier Peak was a volcano. Positioned in Snohomish County, the volcano is only 70 miles northeast of Seattle. The only volcano closer to Seattle is Mount Rainier, but as Glacier Peak is set farther into the Cascades and almost 4,000 feet shorter, it is less noticeable than Mount Rainier. Glacier Peak is one of the most active of Washington's volcanoes. The volcano formed during the Pleistocene epoch, about one million years ago, and since the most recent ice age, it has produced some of largest and most explosive eruptions in the state. When continental ice sheets retreated from the region, Glacier Peak began to erupt regularly, erupting explosively five times in the past 3,000 years. It has erupted repeatedly during at least six periods; two of these eruptions have been among the largest in Washington.

2016 - Glacier National Park, BC, Canada

The first part of our 5-day road trip into the Canadian Rockies was in Glacier National Park. While my sister and family settled into the campground, I took off hiking the mountain above.

The hike was about 12 km long and I managed to climb 900 m above the campground into the alpine region where there was still plenty of snow to be found.

Glacier Crest Hike

This is a fabulous hike in Glacier National Park in the Canadian Rockies. It is a good grunt with close to a 1000 metre elevation change in less than 7 km. It took us about 6 and a half hours return. The views from the top are outstanding. The trail head is just west of the Rogers pass about 45 minutes west of Golden BC.

Abbott Ridge Trail Hike, Canadian Glacier National Park

The Abbot Ridge Trail is a hike to the Ridge of Mount Abbott. This is a fairly challenging hike, and while it is only 13 km in distance, there is an elevation gain of 1035 meters. There is a fork in the trail, offering a long way and a short way, the long way is longer, but less steep, and offers much better views along the trail, and is a better experience. We took the long trail up, and the short trail back, and I think this is the best way to hike this trail.

Governing body Parks Canada
Glacier National Park is one of seven national parks in British Columbia, and is part of a system of 43 parks and park reserves across Canada. Established in 1886, the park encompasses 1,349 km2 (521 sq mi), and includes a portion of the Columbia Mountains. It also contains the Rogers Pass National Historic Site.
The park's history is closely tied to two primary Canadian transportation routes, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), completed in 1885, and the Trans Canada Highway, completed in 1963. The pass in the centre of the park eluded explorers until 1881. The railway brought with it tourism, the establishment of Glacier National Park and the construction of a popular alpine hotel. The heavy winter snows and steep, avalanche-prone valleys of the park have been a major obstacle to transportation, necessitating much railway engineering and avalanche control measures.
The park contains high peaks, large, active glaciers, and one of Canada's largest cave systems. Its dense forests support populations of large mammals, birds, and alpine species. The region is noted for its heavy snowfall. The park has an extensive network of trails, three campgrounds, and four backcountry huts and cabins. Due to the major transportation routes that bisect it, Glacier National Park sees large numbers of visitors.
