About this place
At Glacier Burn you'll climb through beech forest to Glacier Basin. Follow the creek beyond to view the Humboldt Mountains.
The route
Follow the creek until the marker shows where to cross to the true left (looking downstream) and start climbing through beech forest. You can see old saw-milling snig lines near the start of the track. After two hours you will be in Glacier Basin, where you can follow the creek further up to view the Humboldt Mountains. Great bird life.
