Grandma is in town from Pennsylvania and she was brave enough join us for a hike to the Mendenhall Glacier ice caves.

Entrance to the caves. Poor grandma bonked her head off the overhanging ice (should have put a helmet on her).

Reminded us very much of a narrow Utah slot canyon.

Under the glacier in the ice caves, bit unnverving knowing you litterally have a glacier and tons of ice overhead. And I wish my phone took better pictures in low light conditions.
