Timeline
16:52
Start the 1 hour 15 minute round-trip hike to Chalet Lookout. You will cross a stream and climb to a beautiful vantage point over the glacier. Arriving 75 minutes before sunset ensures you have time to hike up, enjoy the view, and descend before the light fades.
18:22
Head to the Glacier Viewpoint after your hike. This short 4-minute walk from the anchor area provides a final look at the glacier as the sun dips below the horizon.
18:52
Walk down to the Swing Bridge. This historic bridge spans the Fox River and marks the end of the valley track. It is a calm spot to watch the last light reflect off the water.
Local tip
