Redemption Instructions

Check in with our Office Staff at our Kennecott Office at the start time of your tour. After you check in, we'll introduce you to your guide and the rest of your group! They'll get you geared up with crampons and make sure you have everything you need for your trek to the Root Glacier! Come prepared with... Required gear: - Layered clothing Including rain gear - both jacket & pants, warm sweater and/or jacket, and good pants for hiking, NO SHORTS - Light gloves Gloves are used to protect your hands from the jagged ice on the glacier's surface, even on a warm day they are required! - Sunglasses and sunscreen The reflective nature of the glacier makes these an absolute necessity! Please come prepared. - Hiking boots with ankle support or other sturdy walking shoes - Water bottle - Lunch or snacks We do not provide lunch or snacks for this trip. If you are in need of a lunch, you can pick up a sandwich at the store in McCarthy or order a sack lunch from the Kennicott Glacier Lodge the day before your hike. - Backpack Please make sure it is big enough to carry your extra layers, lunch, water, and the pair of crampons we will lend you. Recommended Gear: - Trekking Poles These can be helpful on the trail, but are not recommended for the Glacier. If you choose to bring poles, please make sure they are collapsible and can be easily stored away. - Bug Spray Luckily, bugs aren't an issue on the glacier, but they are in town and on the trail out to the glacier - Camera/phone to take pictures

Pickup Information

This tour begins at our office in Kennecott. Because there is no outside vehicle traffic allowed in the towns of McCarthy and Kennecott, we provide transportation for those staying in McCarthy. We will contact you to confirm the exact meeting instructions to ensure you make it to the start of your tour on time. Your pick-up time and location will vary depending on where you are staying in the area. Shortly after you book a tour with us, we will reach out to confirm your specific meeting instructions. Please thoroughly read through the instructions to make it to your meeting location on time. Since there is a 5-mile drive from McCarthy to Kennecott, we typically ask that you meet us 30 minutes before the tour start. Please keep an eye out for the message we will send you shortly after you book this tour! Reach out to us directly if you do not receive follow-up meeting instructions. Those staying in Kennecott can meet us at our office at their tour time. We are one of the first buildings in Kennecott, right beside the National Park Service's Visitor Center. Please note that we do not provide transportation for those staying outside of McCarthy (i.e. Chitina, Copper Center, or Glennallen). Contact us directly if you have any questions! Logistics in our area can be a bit confusing, and no question is too small. :)
