30th Anniversary Ideas (1 Viewer)

Our 30th is next year and we're doing an Alaska cruise - one way Vancouver to Whittier. After the cruise do some kayaking and ice climbing in Kenai Fjords. Never done a cruise and never been to Alaska, so off we go.

Ice climbing is kinda fun, but make sure you have appropriate gear.

We ended up just hiking on the glacier. 7 hours to get 5 miles of walking in. The time of year made it incredibly treacherous with a lot of snow on the trail getting to and from the glacier. The kayaking was incredible and definitely the highlight of the trip.

Whoops, didn’t notice the thread was 2 years old…did you rope up for your glacial traverse?

Definitely. The glacier part was cool. The walk down, in particular, was not. I had trail shoes on, but had near zero traction in very soft snow. That walk down was enough for one lifetime.
