The glacier is oriented from NE to SW, with the Columbia Icefield stretching above to the SW.

On both sides of the glacier are a number of high peaks that cast long shadows across the ice early and late in the day, particularly in late August and September.
|
|
|
It can take up to an hour and a half to reach a specific part of the glacier.
|
|
|
Before early July many of the glacier's surface features, such as crevasses and millwells, are still covered by winter snow.

|
|
The latter half of September sometimes sees early snowstorms sweep across the area, making travel more difficult and dangerous.
