Parking Meter Expired! Traditional Cache

The Herbert Glacier Trail, beginning at a pull-out parking lot, mile 27 Glacier Highway, was upgraded in 2005 through a major effort by Trail Mix of Juneau and the Forest Service. The trail is excellent for bicycles and runners.

A short hike down the trail will put you in position to look for a pill container. A relic from the past is fun to examine. The cache is not on or inside it.

The Herbert Glacier Trail begins in a mature Spruce/Hemlock forest and continues through smaller stand of trees as it winds up the Herbert River Valley. It is basically flat all the way. You can get an excellent view of the Herbert Glacier at the end of the trail -- just watch the river level. The river has eroded some sections of the last half mile of of the trail.

This is also brown and black bear country so clean hiking techniques should be used.

Devil's Club abounds!
