When we made it to the trailhead of Byron Glacier, that's when the real workout began. Since it was pretty warm out still (a little above freezing still I guess), the snow wasn't that compact and wouldn't support our weight all that well. Meaning with every step we took, we sank. A lot. Sometimes past our knees. Emily was nice enough to break trail for us, but that only lasted about 100 yards. I got to do it the rest of the 0.8 miles. We all walked in a straight line (including Banjo) so we all could have an easier time hiking back.
But in the end it was worth it. It was a nice day and fun to be outside. But it might be a better hike in the summer time, because you can probably see the glacier a little better since everything isn't covered by snow.

You think the snow is a little deep? I don't think Emily is normally as tall as a STOP sign.
Breaking trail sometimes leads to a loss of balance - and me falling in the snow.
The Byron Glacier - somewhere under all that snow.
Ahhh...family photo op.

Hey, I lead the way the whole way back out to the trail head! It was easier than the way in, but still hard!
