Worthington Trek, Valdez

Worthington Trek, Valdez in Detail.

Worthington Glacier has receded to a point where there's not much to see from the accessible parts of the glacier. We take you to the places where you can still get up close to the glacier, and enjoy some amazing views.

This tour begins and ends at Worthington Glacier Parking Lot, located 28 mile Richardson Highway. We meet you out there and begin our journey to Worthington Glacier. This tour gives people the opportunity to get up close and personal with Worthington Glacier. As opposed to the trail which leads to a steep face surrounded by steep rocky cliffs, we travel to places where you can climb in and on Worthington Glacier.

This tour may include a Tyrolean traverse depending on the water levels of the creek. Our harnesses range from child sizes to adult XL (39-inch (100cm) waist). It can also include some mild scrambles or climbing if preferred. Physical condition should be taken into consideration.

• Harness (if nessecary)
• Helmet (optional - available upon prior request)

• Good hiking shoes
• Water

• Worthington Trek Adventure + - 4 hours - $200 Adults / $105 Youth | Distance: 4 mi (6.44 km) / Elevation: 1000 ft (304.8 m)
  
  This is a longer route than the standard Worthington Trek. It is much more adventurous, includes better glacier experiences and at least mild rock climbing. This is designed for those who want a higher level of adventure and challenge, variations of this can include higher heights and more technical climbing.
