Itinerary:

The trail starts at the Stanley Glacier parking lot. We begin with a creek crossing and then gradually gain steady elevation on long switchbacks through a new-growth forest. At approx 4.5km we begin the loop that ascends higher into the cirque that holds the Stanley Glacier. This portion of the hike is over some talus and scree. Keep your eyes open for fossils on the south side of the loop as this is part of the Burgess Shale.
